Fresh Ink :: Lost Mitten

Here's a little peek at what I was up to yesterday. I printed quite a few of this little lost mitten in preparation for my art show! :)

I hope everyone is staying safe and dry on the east coast!

Fresh Ink :: Antlers

Last night I printed quite a few of the next print to be apart of my White Ink Limited Collection! I am really happy with the finished print as well as the color of the handmade paper. The exact hue of the paper is so tricky to capture, so, in a word...bordeaux. 

Hope you have a lovely weekend! 

I'm looking forward to printing and carving a couple new designs, as well as having a dear friend of mine from college and her husband stay with us while they're in the Twin Cities for a wedding. :)

Antler

I've been busily creating some new designs - here's one of my latest! I'm pretty excited about this one. I picked up a bordeaux colored paper that I will use to print these antlers on using white ink. Come back soon to see how it turns out!

Lift

After much fussing with composition and perspective :: I think this one is finally ready to be transferred, carved, and then printed!

Through the Woods

I'm busy working on a new print today. This one will be a 2 block, 3 color print when it's all done! It's going to be a bit of a time suck, but worth it in the end. Here's a a little glimpse of a part of the sketch I did for one of the blocks.

Check back soon for more progress!

Jingle

Last night I got a lot of great work done in the land of Wooden Spoon Editions! I worked on a couple new print ideas, carved a bit on my skies print, and then carved up a new design for my holiday gift tag set! 

I know it's difficult thinking about the holiday season already...but here they are...jingle bells that will make your packages jingle all the way! 

Here's to a good week!

Fresh Ink :: Tree

I just finished printing these trees today, and am pretty happy with them! It's always a bit more difficult hand printing a larger surface. I tried varying the pressure when burnishing to create some lighter and darker areas within each  print.

Have a great weekend!
