Tricks in the name of paper conservation...
There are times when a linocut just doesn't take all the ink, leaving little white patches. In order to salvage a print, I use a color shaper to move the ink into those little areas that didn't take. This print was missing ink on the upper right edge. (You can also cut the eraser end of a pencil into a point and use that.) While it may be unorthodox, throwing out the print would make me feel worse because of the paper waste. ['Not-a-harlequin', linocut, 3.25"x3.25"]
Trucos en nombre de la conservacion de papel... Hay ocasiones en que un linocut no quiere tomar toda la tinta, dejando areas pequenitas en blanco. Para salvar un grabado, uso un dicho 'color shaper' para mover la tinta a las areas pequenas donde no hay tinta. En ese grabado faltaba tinta en la esquina arriba al derecho. (Tambien se puede cortar a un punto la goma de un lapiz y usar esa.) A pesar de que es un metodo un poco suspecto, la opcion de botarlo me haria sentir peor por el gasto de papel.
