I did a lino print to try and make my final piece easier to do if I was considering a repeat pattern on a large canvas. I believe for this I didn't do great due to my skills using the tools, but I thought I'd do it and make sure I was certain before ruling it out as an option. I was influenced to use a pattern I got from a set of patterned pieces of card I had baught from Hobby Craft earlier in the year to make invitations. It had a slight 30s to 40s style but I thought with a bit of an addition would work well for a minimal background. However the size that I produced my work at was too small for me to carve out precisely but I continued and got two prints out of it and it turned out not to be a good standard. I decided instantly I wouldn't take it further. There were gaps where there shouldn't be and they werent all the same or symmetrical. The shape wasn't how I imagined and i was hoping for a gem shape almost a 3D effect.
