Popcorn Prints

Here are some finished Popcorn prints. I tried several different backgrounds -- a yellow version, green version, and a blue version with a blue to green background fade. I prefer the yellow for its brightness, but I do like the blue fade too. These will be in my Etsy shop soon.

Popcorn Test Print

I've been working on a larger print now that I have some time to get back to carving. This is a 12"x18" block that I just finished. I don't know if she remembers, but when Shona sent me some prints a while back she used a popcorn box as some extra packing material. I liked it so much I saved it and this is what came out of the inspiration!

I am planning on making it a two color print, and having a solid background color behind this, although if that doesn't look good I'll probably end up carving another block to fill in some combination of the stripes or letters. I just tested it out with some old black water based ink I had lying around. I am thinking yelow and blue and yellow and red for color combinations -- I hope to do a couple different variations.
