	I always forget that stuff is reversed when it prints! I just stay away from cutting letters all together hahah The print looks so awesome though, so I wouldn't even worry about the notes! (Reply to this)

	Aw, it's lovely. I've been doing linocuts forever and I still do that. You know, you could just gouge those notes right out. (Reply to this)

	I was also gonna say, gouge the notes out - you could hand draw/paint them in after for that multi-media style! (Reply to this)

	beautiful! Even if the record player is a left handed record player. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	i didn't even NOTICE that the music notes were backwards! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	har har. we all do that at some point. :) but yeah, you could gouge out the notes. and maybe stamp them from another block. hate to waste the whole lino... (Reply to this)

	madflowr 2008-01-16 04:09 am UTC (link)
	aww susie, the backwards notes are not a huge deal. you could just market it as some rare limited edition thing and i bet you $10 that you will sell out of any number that you print. or you could name then resulting print something like music in a mirror? xo, leigh (Reply to this)

	aw, it is still cute, though. do you use "old school" lino, or the easy cut stuff? i loooove the easy cut stuff 'cause i can use it with stamp pads instead of rolling out the ink :) i like shortcuts! (Reply to this)

	sighfoo 2008-01-16 04:25 am UTC (link)
	there's nothing wrong with it. that's how birds read notes. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	tragicmouse 2008-01-16 04:31 pm UTC (link)
	lol...funny. and susie, it's still lovely! print it anyway. xoxo (Reply to this)(Parent)

	the notes are actually not backwards, depending on which line they are on, they can be either way. i don't think it is an issue. it looks supa dupa. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	boygirlparty 2008-01-16 05:10 am UTC (link)
	the notes aren't backwards in this photo, they're backwards when the print is made. see? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lelah 2008-01-16 08:31 am UTC (link)
	But if you look at hand-scored compositions, notes are rarely "right". It's like handwriting- messy! I think it looks okay! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	believe_in_me 2008-01-16 05:21 am UTC (link)
	It's still impressive! (Reply to this)

	jabberworks 2008-01-16 08:50 am UTC (link)
	Aw, I hardly ever do lino printing, but every time I pick it up again, I ALWAYS forget and do that! It feels a little better when I scan it and flip it on screen, but it's not quite the same. Yours looks lovely with the backwards notes, though, they look kind of intentional. (Reply to this)

	(Anonymous) 2008-01-16 08:52 am UTC (link)
	hey susie... I think they look fine too... BUT if you hate them you could just cut them out of the original print and make some separate little musical note lino cuts to print over the first image... maybe you could even make a feature of it by changing the colour of the notes or something?? Lucy (been gone from livejournal a long time but I used to be niceandlucy.. :) x. (Reply to this)

	Oh lord, I'm so envious, I haven't done that in 10 years. And I still own the tools to do that. (Reply to this)

	smashingmirrors 2008-01-16 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	I started linocutting again recently too! Totally reminds me of middle school ... (Reply to this)

	mypapercrane 2008-01-16 02:40 pm UTC (link)
	its awesome backwards printed notes and all, i love it 100% (Reply to this)

	(Anonymous) 2008-01-16 02:56 pm UTC (link)
	i would think notes from a bird playing records probably would be backwards! please make prints! xoxoxoxoxo (Reply to this)

	spillshercoffee 2008-01-16 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Hee... the musical notes will be backwards, but I think it will still be a nice print. I did that myself once with a screenprint. Which is even dumber, if you ask me. Oops. :) (Reply to this)

	roman_holiday 2008-01-16 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	oops! the notes will be backwards, oh well, i bet it's still cute. (Reply to this)

	strammermax 2008-01-17 12:20 pm UTC (link)
	it's still printable, and cute! :B (Reply to this)
