CELTIC CROSS I $20.00 Lino Block Print 5" x 7" Actual Image Size Copyright 1998 Michael Carroll       Please note: the images shown here are scanned while the actual artworks are printed with crisp detail and brilliant color.

CELTIC CROSS I is an original design by Michael Carroll. Classic Celtic knotwork patterns form the base and shaft of this Cross, while the distinctive wheel shape of the ancient High Crosses is here given a more modern, open treatment.

The design was transferred and carved into the printing block by the artist, and the parchment paper hand-treated with gouache to create an aged appearance. Each sheet was inked and printed entirely by hand, and is signed by the artist. Each lino print has its own individual characteristics as they are printed on hand treated parchment paper.
