One of my favourite picture books is the Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.
The tree loves a little boy. She gives her fruit, shade, leaves and branches.
When she has given all she has, her trunk bears a heart of love in remembrance.
Getting the bark just right was easy here..... I took a photo of the tree trunk,
printed and photocopied it then used gel medium to transfer it to the battleship
linoleum ready for carving.
It is printed with waterbased ink on japanese printing paper.
