Well holy chit you guys. I tried a new technique for printing (one of those fancy methods people use to make sure they's shit's aligned) AND I decided to scrap both of my first attempts for the orange and green layers and just trace the linocarving and create new stamps for the colors. (The first time I measured the blocks for the orange and green layers, I was using scrap material and ended up cutting each block just a little bit wonky to try and fit -- a bit short, a bit wide, you get the concept -- and it was really going to fuck with any alignment methods that are recommended to use for linoprints.)

WELL THAT SHIT FUCKING WORKED

Also not to humble brag but I had to mix the orange and green both by hand. Which was one reason I was kind of procrastinating a little bit on this print.

So I guess next step: figuring out how to align a the pattern so as to tesselate it across a piece of paper...hmm...
