@@Milinoink I am new to lino, so I am pleased to learn from people like you. Thanyx for sharing your process.
@@BobbySpiessVienna Oh that's great that you started, printmaking is a wonderful world✨. It makes me very happy that my videos are useful to you. If you have any questions, I'm here!
@@Milinoink 😍 ...that's super nice! Thank you!
Wow. That looks great.
Thank you so much!🙏❤️
@@Milinoink I thank YOU for sharing such passionate work of yours. The gradients on the 1st print are so cool ...would not have thought about this method without your video 🤗
@@BobbySpiessVienna The gradient is a very versatile technique and gives it that touch of contrast with the flat tones that are typically found in relief prints. Printmaking has this wonderful possibility of experimentation with textures and shapes✨ I really appreciate your words. Thanks for the support!💝
Me encanta Mile 🤩👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Muchas gracias mi amiga bella❤✨✨✨
Watching Milena create "Ira" is captivating. It shows the care and precision she puts into every step, from the carving of the intricate fur details to the layering of the bold black and red inks. It is fascinating to see how the image transforms with each layer, culminating in a powerful and evocative work. This video is a must for anyone who appreciates the art and craft of linocut printing. Thank you for your art❤🖤
Thank you so much!❤ I really appreciate your words and it's a pleasure to have you here! Thanks for the support!🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful work! What is the powder you used at 03:48?
Thank you so much!❤️ That's talc (this one is for babies but you can use any) There it helps me seal in the fresh ink so I can carve the linoleum right away without having to wait for the ink to dry.
Beautiful!!
Thank you very much❤️
Fantastico
Muchas gracias!❤️
Beautiful
Thank you very much!❤️
Muy bonito, genial😉
Muchas gracias!😊🫶
This a very good educational video on how to do this. Thank you for showing all the detail. I am a woodcarver and I have all these tools and I've wanted to try doing this.
Thank you so much! I am very glad that it is useful to you❤️
❤️❤️❤️
🥰❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful! How did you transfer the image onto the lino??
Thank you very much Liani❤️ Here I used Stencil, the same one used to transfer the designs to the skin and then tattoo them. But I usually do it with carbon paper, you can see the process in my other videos🫶✨
@@Milinoink I thought it looked like tattoo stencil! Very smart, thank you😍🥰 Can't wait to see your next piece xx
@@lianim6105 It's almost ready😉. Thanks for being here🥰
wow beautiful work ! you've got a new sub for sure.
Thank you very much Pedro!❤️✨
MashahAllah.
🙏❤️✨
ooh such patience and detailing, it's so satisfying to watch
Thank you so much!❤️ I am usually a fairly hyperactive person, but paradoxically when I carve I have all the patience in the world✨
it looks amazing!💗
I’m glad that you like it Gregor!🙏❤️
@@Milinoink You've read the metamorphosis??
By Kafka?. Yes, several years ago✨
@@Milinoink omg i started like a week ago
@@Gregor_11Samsa I'm from Cuba, and we studied it in high school there. Great book!👽
The skill 🔥🔥
Thank you very much!😊🙏❤️
Just subscribed ~ Your work is so underrated! I love lino cutting, but i can only aspire to this level of precision!!
Thanks you so much!❤️ Just keep going! Practice makes a master. And the most important, enjoy the process✨✨✨
My god the detail :o woah!
😊🙏❤️
Absolutely beautiful ❤ how is this not viral????? Amazing work 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much Serene☺️❤️❤️❤️
Wow this is beautiful 😍
Thank you so much✨❤️✨
What is the name of the printing press you use? love watching your process :)
It is a hydraulic press. My husband built this one for me😊. Thank you so much!❤️
Satisfying

where do you get your linoleum?
Hallo! I buy it at a local art store. But if you search online for traditional brown linoleum it should appear.
looks wonderful!!🥰i really need to get some of those Pins, or something similar to help with printing multiple colours
Thank you so much Jennifer❤️ Yes, I recommend them 100%. In the description I put the link where I bought them and the strippings tabs.
thanks :) will have t o wait until i have a bigger order to get from jacksons, but glad to see they have them now

Love your works! ❤ It's so good! ❤
Thank you very much! ❤️❤️❤️🙏
Beautiful! What method do you use to transfer your printed image to the Lino?
Thank you!❤️ Here I used stencil, the same one used to transfer designs to the skin and then tattoo.
Wow! It’s magic art! 😮Thanks ❤
Thank you very much!🙏❤️❤️❤️
Loved the video and that press 😮❤
I’m glad that you like it Luisa❤️. Greetings from Yasu (the press)😊🫶
Awesome! Which paper do you use? looks so good
Thank you so much!♥️ That is Fabriano paper✨
Wow! You make it look easy, but carving such consistent long curved lines takes so much skill 🙌 They came out amazing! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!❤️ I hope you enjoit the process🫶
Wow❤ Amazing! ❤
Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful work!❤
Thank you so much!😊❤️
Do you ever just run your fingers over the surface of your stamps? I think I would.
Of course! That sensory satisfaction can't be missed!😊♥️
🔥🔥🔥

Beautiful
Thank you🫶
Beautiful! Why did you sand your lino board before you started?
Thank you so much!🫶 Linoleum comes with a light oily protective coating. It is better to remove it so that it fixes the design drawing better, and also so that the printing ink can spread completely. It is important to use fine sandpaper, so you do not affect the flat surface of the linoleum. It is also good to clean with alcohol after sanding.
Te he descubierto hace poco y me encanta tu trabajo. 😍😍😍 Como se llaman las piezas esas metálicas que empleas para sujetar los papeles y que no se muevas?
Muchísimas gracias!❤️ Esas piezas se llaman en ingles “Terner Burton register pins” (las descubrí con este linoleo y son una maravilla!). En la descripción dejo el link donde los compré aqui en Europa, pero son de Estados Unidos, así que se deben encontrar mundialmente. Hay tres medidas de altitud, las que yo uso son las más bajas (1/4 x .055 R)
Makes me really want to try this some day! Great handcraft and beautiful video 👏
Thank you very much! I'm very happy that you want to do it! Soon I will show the really basics to get started🫶✨
Good work, but that’s a Catrina, not la llorona.
Hola! Thanks for your appreciation! La Llorona is a mystical entity that takes place in every Latin American popular culture millennia ago, changing the version of the story a little but physically speaking they are all very similar. In this case I wanted to represent the Mexican. That's why I combined it with the makeup of the Catrina or Mexican death, a world icon of that beautiful country♥️
@@Milinoink in Mexico we don’t ever represent la llorona with Catrina makeup. I’m very familiar with the la llorona myth, and the Mexican version of it. I’m from Mexico City, where our version originated. La llorona is usually depicted as a very pale woman dressed in tatters with very long hair.
@@madmex123 Que bien! Entonces podemos hablar en nuestra lengua materna. Nunca he visto a “La Llorona” representada como catrina, sé que son dos personajes diferentes, tanto estéticamente como conceptualmente. Sin embargo tienen una conexión muy fuerte desde mi percepción de un modo totalmente opuesto. Una llora la muerte y la otra la celebra. Ya sea por el accionar o forma de ver la vida cada uno llebamos esto a cuestas, unos mas llorones, otros más catrinas.
@@Milinoink y tienes todo el derecho a representarla como te plazca, solo que, como lo dije anteriormente, en México no combinamos ambos personajes en uno solo. La Catrina tiene sus orígenes en los grabados del dibujante José Guadalupe Posada, a modo de sátira a las clases sociales altas, al llamarlas “Calaveras Garbanceras”. La llorona para nosotros es más bien como un personaje trágico, condenada a vagar por toda la eternidad por haber ahogado a sus hijos y por ende, algo que no es celebrado.
@@madmex123 Muchas gracias por tu comentario respetuoso y por estar aquí 🫶
Hi Milinoink, great artistry, and so detailed! I've only just started lino printing and I still can't get my mind around reduction lino prints 😵💫 I guess it will come with time. I hope you don't mind me asking but what is the white powder you use and why do you use it?
Hallo! Thank you so much! It's good that you started. Welcome to this wonderful technique!🫶 To start with reductive linocut you can do it with 2 layers at the beginning. Then you can add more layers. Once you understand it it's not complicated. The white powder is baby powder, but you can use any colorless powder. This is used to keep your hands “clean” and not get ink on the paper. It can also be used in case an area of the linoleum block gets ink stained, you can put a little talcum powder and this neutralizes the inked area and does not stain the paper. It is also used to put on the rollers once they are clean, so they stay better over time and do not become sticky. If the ink is very fluid, talcum powder also serves as a thickener...And so on for many other things. It is very useful!
Wow, I’m going to have to go shopping today! Thank you and I look forward to more of your videos 🙏
