Waste not want not

Sorting out some shelves I came across some small odd shaped offcuts of lino, and not wanting to throw them away. I decided to see if I could compose some designs to suit them. Thinking it would be easier I picked the largest of them (65mm x 282mm). This is what I came up with, a simple one colour print.

Swimming Otter. Linocut. 55mm x 210mm. Open Edition.

As this was a single colour print I printed it with a border, not something I do very often. I can't quite make up my mind about borders. I think they look great on other printmakers work but I've never been entirely happy about the few prints that I have made with a border around them.
