Auntie Annie's plants

Made by a student of 11 years old



You need:

  1. one piece of linoleum from 15 by 15 cm
  2. black construction paper
  3. lino knives
  4. mat
  5. white block printing ink
  6. flat piece of glass
  7. linoleum roller
  8. lino press
In auntie Annie's window you'll find a varied collection of plants. Plants in huge pots, small pots, big plants, tiny plants, a lot of leaves or just very little. As the evening darkness fills the room of auntie Annie, the plant collection may look like a group of creeps....


Draw the plants on a piece of linoleum and cut them out. Vary in the flower pots by cutting the whole pot away, of leaving just the edges. You may also cut decorations in the pots.

Shake the bottle of blockprint carefully to be sure oil will mix with the rest. Drip the paint on the glass and roll it out with the lino roller. Make several prints of your work. Choose the best one to be your artwork.


And, are Auntie Annie's plants really creepy?
