A New Year resolution...

A great start Jenny, it's an eye catching design! It's good to try different things you never know where it may lead. Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks, Christine. I was thinking of deleting this and starting again as the top right hand corner doesn't line up properly and it's really annoying me! Oh well, never mind, it's only really a practice piece.

Good for you Jenny, let's all get creative in 2016.

A great New Years resolution, getting creative is what it's all about, and as said a good start with this one,looking forward to seeing some more.

Thank you, Alan and Andre. I hope by putting my resolution in print it will force me to follow through on it - so often I decide to try something new, then get distracted by my usual, familiar way of working and forget all about my good intentions!

Jenny you&#39;re doing better than me for keeping your New Year&#39;s resolution, I had only been up for ten minutes before I broke mine!lol<br />Oh well, there&#39;s always next year.<br /><br />What a great idea and experiment, love the sharp relief on the dark background it really is striking. I bought some different coloured handmade papers and coloured inks to experiment with, it will be interesting to see these ideas evolve.<br />There are some really good packs of the soft cut lino available on ebay, very reasonable too. I bought a pack of ten pieces for almost the same price as one piece from my nearest art shop.

Thanks, Fiona, for the tip on the soft-cut lino - I&#39;ve only just discovered that it&#39;s now available in a softer version, should make life a lot easier! I think I&#39;ll also get a selection of inks and coloured papers to play around with.

I am with you on this Jenny. I too, would like to be more experimental this year. You have made a good start with this eye catching design.

Great on the dark background Jenny, it&#39;s lovely to try something new.

Thanks, Julie and Carole, for your encouraging comments.
