I’m still working on my wood block experiments. I used part of one of my photos for the current header of this blog and thought I’d work with that. The first image shows a study which I’m working into a design for a horizontal print.
I’m still working on my mark making and not ready to begin a full block so I’m testing this design on a smaller block. Beginning cutting is shown in the second shot.

Design for Woodblock and Test block.

Didn’t dry in time, will print Tues!

For class last night, we were to have printed work for class review by 8:00 which would have given me time to print something. But what? I had created this collagraph plate from gesso, twigs, and crumbled leaves which I sealed with acrylic matt medium. Unfortunately, due to the humidity, it didn’t fully dry so I had to come up with something else—fast. There were some plexi plates that I could use with oil based printers ink and I based my design on my original studies. They are a bit experimental and are at school drying—I will post something on them later.
