Olwen the Cat

Olwen the cat is a linocut print on Fabriano 5, a half cotton and half woodpulp, smooth and acid free paper. It has been cut with gouges and knives from two blocks and printed on Sarah’s little Adana press in a mid teal and a dark slightly green blue ink.

The name Olwen means white footprint or track, after the daughter of a Welsh giant who was so gentle that white flowers grew in her footsteps.
