Two layers linocut process by Milena Olga “Luck”
Hello! Here I show you the linocut of “Luck”. A two layer linoleum, in gradient green and black. Printed on manufactured cotton paper approximately size of 29 x 45cm and print area 23,5 x 40cm.
The idea for this design came to me at that moment when you are waking up... from a deep sleep. Here is the summary:
A rabbit, tired of his unhappy life, decided to amputate his own leg to use it as an amulet to attract good luck. The same leg that had kept him tied to a stake his entire life. He was overjoyed at the feeling of freedom, not caring how much he bled. However, the paradox of finding liberation by losing a part of himself filled him with mixed emotions. This print should be called “Causation”, but out of respect for this rabbit's beliefs, I called it “Luck”.
I hope you enjoy it!🫶

First, I really liked the initial drawing, very pretty design. Then I found the crafting very interesting, it obviously requires a lot of patience, which you seem to have, and that was nice to watch. Of course, it's impossible to say that the result isn't beautiful. The materials you have used, the colors you have chosen, the 2 part inking process with the green gradient, even your signature, I just love everything little detail of what you have made here! You have my full admiration. I sincerely wish you a lot of success from your craft because it would be totally deserved! Stay safe! Cheers from France!

@@Milinoink You're absolutely welcome and you really don't have to thank me for anything as I was only telling the truth and being sincere. It's obvious that you've put countless hours mastering your craft and you developed that talent all on your own. So if anyone needs to be thanked here, it's you! For investing so much of your time and efforts to be able to make such beautiful art and for having so much good taste in design, colors and choice of materials, and sharing it all with us! I'll stay safe only if you stay safe! :D Warm cheers from France !

@@Milinoink I didn't have the time before, but I watched your other videos and I have been similarly mesmerized with your creations. Each creation starts with an awesome design full of details added with great taste. Every time you show a strong patience and skills to carve all those wonderful details in linoleum sheets, every time I just love your choice of colors and paper, and the results are absolutely gorgeous, I honestly have no other words. And the golden ink on black paper, wow, the cherry on top of a delightful mountain of good taste! Thanks a lot for sharing all of that with us. I hope you have planned to upload more content in the future as I could easily watch such art making all day without problem (I also appreciated the shots on your dog, the garden with the snow falling etc... You and your husband seem to live in a very lovely place!). But I'm also conscious that it's a lot of work to make a video, so I don't say "you have to!", I'm only saying "I hope you will, and if you do, I'll be there to watch it with attention", that's all ; ) Stay safe and best regards! : )

Hallo! I buy it at a local art store. But if you search online for traditional brown linoleum it should appear.
Beautiful work! What was the powder you used at 1:58? I've never seen that before
@Milinoink

Thank you!♥️ It is talcum powder, this is for babies but you can use any regular powder. There I used it to seal the fresh ink on the linoleum and be able to carve it without getting everything dirty :)
Excellent work! What kind of paper did you use for this beautiful print?

Thank you so much! This is manufactured cotton paper, very beautiful but a little complicated to work with. It took many attempts to reach the exact humidity and pressure it needed✨

Thanks so much!🫶 It is traditional brown linoleum. It is a little harder than the rest but this makes the small carved details more resistant to the pressure of the press✨

@@sagazmcz You are welcome! I bought this one at www.lucascreativ.be/ here in Belgium. But I think you can find it at any art supply store. There is also the gray linoleum that is very similar (It is the one I used on my “Wise Girls” linocut, on my page you can see the video of the process) 🤓
i cannot tell, but you have 2 set of lino for each layer?

Hi! I use one linoleum per layer. A block for the green and another one for the black, 2 in total.
