<p>Linocut, roughly 200mm square, posted in <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40900956">my Etsy shop</a>.</p>
<p>This was inspired by a conversation with a friend about druidry, and remembering the mountains of Snowdonia where I grew up.  It wasn&#8217;t originally intended to be a night scene, and it&#8217;s turned out a lot smoother and more Art Nouveau than I&#8217;d intended &#8211; I want to revisit the sketch with another block, probably in relief next time rather than incised, and see if I can get something closer to my original vision.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t normally make separate design sketches &#8211; I usually do my designing straight onto the block &#8211; but since I did this time, here it is.  I copied it freehand onto the lino, since the original sketch had slightly the wrong proportions for the block I had handy.</p>
