A little practice
If you'd coming looking for me last weekend, you'd have found me in my studio. I gave myself a challenge: four days, four prints. Each print needed to be complete in 24 hours or less and each was done using the one block reduction technique I'll be teaching at a workshop later this month. It was great fun and forced me to work quickly, without too much time to ponder and ruminate, as I am wont to do. Each image was printed with a 4" x 6" shina woodblock, using oil based ink on Okawara paper.

And each of them are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gloria!
DeleteI think your faces are beautiful and inspiring. The block printing seems fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Elin! Thanks for your kind words. Block printing is fun, but sometimes I get caught up in worrying about the final product and need to remind myself that most of the joy I experience is from the process. This exercise was a helpful reminder!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, each one in a single day? Hats off to you! I've always wanted to try working that fast and haven't yet attempted it. These are great!
ReplyDeleteThree months later and I still love these madly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie. I need to do more! In my latest pursuits I am not using wood or my beloved hangi-to and I miss both terribly!
