For my final print I decided to make use of the reduction method of printing. I had also thought of combining this with some chine colle. However as I began the printing process I decided the print was better in one technique than a combination…
I had this particular combination for printing in my mind pretty much from the start of looking at project 15. But I hadn’t really given lots of consideration to what the design would be, so my first port of call was considering colour and layout combinations…
I wrote an early post about the process of deciding on the design/format for this print, see link below:

In that post I wrote about experimenting in A4 format before working on the final print in A3, this post is about the process of print in the larger format…
In my first post about Rainbow rolling I talked about the design process, see here:

This post is all about the printing process and the final print! The photo below was taken at the start of the printing process as I got ready to rainbow roll my lino.

Design of print 1 in sketchbook.
This is my initial design for my rainbow rolled lino cut incorporating a mono print/ collage background. In the photo above you can see I’ve tried to show how the rainbow rolled effect might work, and how it would sit against either a coloured background or paper collaged background. This was the point I had reached when I managed to get an opportunity to photograph the inside of the butchers.
