Next in my Canadian 🇨🇦 provinces is one my uncle described as “easy to draw, hard to spell.” The symbols of Saskatchewan, its provincial bird, the sharp-tailed grouse and its flower, the Western red lily cover the hand-carved map of Saskatchewan in this #linocut. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper. 🧵

As described, the symbols of Saskatchewan, its provincial bird, the sharp-tailed grouse and its flower, the  Western red lily cover the hand-carved map of Saskatchewan in this linocut. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours, gold, green, brown, orange and magenta, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.
