Welcome to my new blog and redesigned website! After five years with my old blog, I'm sorry to leave it behind, but I couldn't resist the "neatness" of having everything located within one website. My old blog will remain as an archive--it's linked at the right as Blogger Archive.

One of my first prints of the New Year! I normally carve Shina Plywood for my woodblocks, but this time I chose Cherry because I knew I wanted some fine detail in the branches. Carving the harder wood took some getting used to, but for this project, it was worth it! It was really a joy to be able to carve around tiny little lines and have them hold up well.
The blue sky was inked onto the flat, uncarved surface of a block so that it fades from dark to lighter blue. The main block was inked with two rollers--black for the top 2/3 and dark brown for the bottom 1/3, with some blending in between.
