Stellated Octahedron Linocut

Stellated Octahedron Linocut
Geometry is one of the drawing subjects I really like exploring. Constructing lines and dealing with space perception is a great experience. So I decided to make my first linocut project and print the result. 

It is a compound of two tetrahedrons that form the eight-pointed star. Technically an octahedron is the core of this star but I didn't include it to keep more space and depth between the frames. I share with you the step by step process of designing and printing my work, together with some 35mm film snapshots.
