Linocut bird

I haven't done any linocutting for ages so I decided to spend some time this morning developing some  ideas and came up with this little birdy design...

I transferred it onto the lino and began to cut...

I find the process of linocutting very therapeutic (particularly whilst listening to a good audio book) and I love the fact that you can never be quite sure of the outcome. I plan to finish the cutting tomorrow, and then for the exciting part - the printing! Hopefully, I'll have some prints to show soon!
