I finally found time to produce the third of the four linocuts I started back at Open Studios in September. This one is the vine, as in "I am the vine, you are the branches" (John 15:5). Sharp-eyed readers will immediately spot the schoolgirl error I made when cutting the block - the design is the same way round as the original sketch! Faced with doing all that work again (those grapes took ages), I took a look at the sketch in a mirror and decided it would work just as well in reverse. So I was holding my breath even more than usual when I pulled the first print:

When I saw the result, I was delighted. Because of the way I intend to display the four prints, I think this one will work even better the 'wrong' way round! I went on to make six prints in total:

Having completed the third print I'm now keen to get on with the fourth and final one, of which more another time . . .!
