Fresh Ink :: Birch

I just finished printing the birch trees :: FINALLY!  
They were tricky to print since so much of the block had been carved away - leaving not much left for the paper to "grab onto." To be honest, I'm glad these trees are finally done...they took way longer to complete and were a bit finicky with all the fine lines and details. 
Hope you have an enjoyable weekend!

North Shore Woods

I finished carving two of the birch trees for my next print last night! The detail and size are causing it take a bit longer to complete, but I'm really happy with how it's coming along and am getting excited to ink and print it when it's done!

Birch & Aspen

Birch and aspen trees are so beautiful, especially this time of year! I can't wait to begin sketching designs for my next print inspired by these towering trees. 
Have a wonderful weekend!
