Lindisfarne

I finally finished Lindisfarne.

Trying to collage the thin pieces of tissue paper with the text onto the collagraph was nerve wracking but it worked.

 Initially I had intended to cut arches out of all three of the blank panels but decided after doing number one that this would weaken the structure too much. 

Because I liked the texture of the viscosity printing in the blanks I’d already considered ditching the arches altogether, so I  am happy with the compromise.
