I went out into the garden to sketch ivy and its berries, then simplified their forms to incorporate with previous stylised holly I'd prepared to go with the ill-fated candle.
I spent more than an hour cutting the lino for the print - the most intricate I've attempted so far. I built a reusable wooden frame to house the lino cut, which will also guide the postcards I'm putting the print on. This frame will be invaluable when I attempt two or three-tone linocuts in the future.
The print came out well :)
Here's one of the postcards filled out in colour, to give you an idea of the finished card :)
