This is a hand made print of a linocut of a dipper. This would make a perfect gift for an ornithologist. Dippers are plucky little birds that like to hunt for their prey in fast flowing streams. They are a common sight on rivers and streams throughout Perthshire.

The printed area is 8cm x 11cm and the paper is 12.5 x 15cm. It is printed in black oil based ink onto beautifully smooth white Japanese Simili paper. Its black and white plumage is suited to being portrayed in the medium of linocut.

All of my linocut prints turn out slightly differently – depending on where the linocut is placed on the paper, how much ink is rolled on, and how much pressure is used to transfer the ink from the linocut onto the paper. This is an open edition print.
