Pursuing my idea of a Gymea Lily, I crafted a small (30 cm) Lino as a design mock up. The flower on the lily is quite tricky to reduce to a few lines, especially at the small size of print I was trying for.
After printing I hand coloured it.
I’m not sure that it benefited from this, although I was happy with the design.
