I experienced my first time engraving, it’s a difficult technique but also really fascinating. Linoleum is a soft material made of oil linseed, pine rosin, ground cork dust, wood flour and jute canvas. In a small mesure linoleum can be used to engrave drawings like cards. That is what I made: customized Christmas cards. As a novice I liked so much the technique that I bought all the tools that I needed for this type of work and I’m making engravings myself at home, also using the Litography technique to paint the cards.
Thanks to master Manuel Ortega and the lab “L’Armadillo Atelier” in Florence, Italy.
