Typical Fan Girl!

For my paper making unit I am creating a top hat that is getting covered in hand made paper with certain song lyrics and will be printed on from Lino and today I tried to print out one certain song lyric from a song called 'I Feel Alive' by We The Kings and the song kind of takes me back a few memories when my grandmother passed away a few years ago and the song helped me a lot to get me back on track with life because it's such a happy feel-good song!
The start of cutting the lino took me 2 days because I had to trace the lyrics onto tracing paper and then trace it again on the other side of the tracing paper and then rub it on the lino so the backwards writing has been transferred onto the lino and then it was the start of the cutting process. When I finished cutting the lino, I started to print a few off for some trials runs and then discovered that my handmade paper is too small for the type to fit on so I just used plain A3 paper and used 2 sheets. The first sheet, I used a red printing ink for the first 2 prints and then the second lot of prints I added yellow printing ink to make the colour lighter and then printed onto the paper. The second piece of paper was for darker colours but the prints didn't turn out as well as the first lot of prints.
