With a beach inspiration (see 0167 Beach Tents) I decided to do this as a multi block print - but carving out the blocks from a single piece of Lino and inking each separately.
When reassembling the pieces they don’t snuggled up to each other, the cutting is a bit rough, leaving the white lines.
I was pleased with the result and one is framed in my house; the bathroom actually which has a blue and white theme so it sits well.
