    Linocut: A Creative Guide to Making Beautiful Prints features eighteen proj= ects that can be adapted to a variety of subjects, and shows how to create = unique prints suitable for cards and other applications. Everyday life subj= ects encourage budding artists to draw their inspiration from familiar idea=
    s and experiences, fostering the fine art of observational drawing, while s= tep-by-step instructions use low-cost materials and experimental techniques=
    for superior results. Examples from Marshall's own efforts as well as thos=
    e of five other printmakers contribute to a crafts guide embedded with easy=
    approaches that encourage both linocut art and creative effort, making for=
    a top recommendation for libraries and artists alike.
