I have been experimenting with both drypoint and linocut techniques. At the moment, drypoint is more appealing … perhaps it is the neater, finer lines that holds the initial appeal (my ability to carve lino needs significantly more practice!).

I decided something small and everyday was a great place to start as I experimented  with both techniques. So, hello teabag! I think I could venture into a more complete piece for my next effort … although I do so love the small, simple, everyday pieces of life. In a complex world the idea of a teabag sitting on the bench holding the promise of a cup of tea and a crisis resolved is so very reassuring.

Linocut version of the teabag … I think I will come back and try this again …
