After thinking about monoprint might not be as suitable as I thought I looked back at the possibility of using lino for the yellow. I'd still ruled out the possibility of just making a block the same size as the other with lots of negative space as that's what would always mess up the prints.
Because I'm printing black on yellow it will be possible for me to add bleed to areas where there will be black covering the yellow, which will be good to avoid unwanted white areas. It feels good to be technically prepared when looking back to two years ago, when I was screen printing a concertina book with no bleeds and no crop marks! The result wasn't great, and I'm hoping that now I have put some effort in (now I have the knowledge) that it will make something better.
I got pretty confused about what to do so sought out advice from tutors! Some of the methods explained seemed a little too time consuming when the possibility of putting stamps on greyboard could well work! But I'm trying it with this print first, as it's not the simplest but also not the hardest! Fingers crossed for tomorrow!
