Lino test

I wanted to test out an example of the rough line work surrounding an image, and actually linocut it. I drew a pair of 'denailing' pliers, mmmmm....This ones a little messy - the lines should be more structured next time I reckon. But it gives the impression of the aesthetic I'm exploring. 


I tried to capture lighting hitting the top of the tool as well, using really fine lines. I cut the kind of shape below:


Then worked back into it to try to create a smoother finish: 


For next tests:
Background: Finer, neater, straighter lines
