My Russell’s Teapot linocut print in blue and black in on a white Japanese washi paper with a subtle pattern in the palest blue. There’s a corner of Earth on the right lower corner, in blue with swirling clouds. Then the starry black space with two dotted arcs to indicate orbits of the small red dot of Mars at the top left and the enlarged image of the china teapot in blue and white in the middle, in a circle to show it’s been enlarged so we can see it. At the top, text is carved in white: RUSSELL’S TEAPOT. At the bottom are a series of symbols for the bodies in the solar system, from left to right: Sun (dot in circle), Mercury (circle with horns on cross), Venus (woman symbol, circle over cross like modified ankh), Earth (cross within circle), stylized teapot, Mars (circle with diagonal arrow going to top right), Jupiter (like a stylized 2 with a vertical slash through horizontal line), Saturn (like a stylized h with a bar on top), Uranus (circle with vertical arrow), Neptune (trident).
