After creating my final lino cuts I went into the print room knowing the colour combinations I would try out and use; metallic and a dark rich colour- most likely purple. I had previously experimented with lino prints and used metallic gold and dark purple which I really liked the outcome of, I thought these colours worked effectively to create the atmosphere of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. I quite wanted to try out silver however I was unable to find this ink in the print room so I used gold in my prints experimenting with where I rolled the ink and how this effected the meaning within the piece. For example when I placed gold where the wings would print this exaggerated the magical theme bringing alive the mystical concept of fairies. Yet I preferred it when I used the gold over the body of the fairy, this bringing alive and warming her face and the centre of the image; her heart.
