I was cleaning a wee bit near my flatfile and found this little linoleum print of playing rats I did as a child. I never finished it because I screwed up the arm - well, I never did more than the sketchiest drawings right onto the lino, even after I got older. I just got better at making the right decisions on the fly. I still like this print though (/me puts her thumb over the offending spot).

I hope you can see, even if it was imperfect, that this is a good print! Hard to imagine it is a child's piece.
I think I was a teenager, maybe, when I did it - which is a child to me. I have* at least two I did when I was much younger. The first one is a bedouin and his tent (but he didn't fit very well in the block), and the other is a print I made from looking at the frontispiece of a book about Trelawny - which was a black and white reproduction of a painting of him in a turban.
