Tiny Art: Inspired by Children's Stories
- Choose an inspiring story from your childhood
- Play with Scale and Proportion in your design
- Work small (the linoleum plate is only 2x3inches)
- Give it a whimsical or strange mood (it will be dark and light with texture and details)
- These will be on display in the gallery so they need to be printed clearly and centered on clean white paper (no smudges!)
