New Block Print Journals

Here are some new block print journals I've been working on, soon to be in my Etsy Shop. The blocks were carved with soft rubber stamp material instead of the usual linoleum that I carve, because these journals are hardbound and won't fit through my press. I printed first in special white ink that will stick to the vinyl journal cover, then in silver over the white to create a layered look.

These are hard-bound journals similar to Moleskines in that they have an elastic closure, and a convenient pocket on the inside. I'll be posting them to Etsy soon!

Broadside Featured as Related Item on Etsy Storque Valentine's Article

I was selected as a Related Item on the Etsy Storque article "Etsy Finds: Will You Be My Valentine?"

It's always appreciated when someone links to your work! If you are interested, check out my "A Good Man is Hard to Find" Letterpress Broadside.

Hilltop Motel Print

Here is the finished version of the Hilltop Motel print I was working on in another post. I now have three two color motel prints in this series, and I may do one more, although I have exhausted my primary colors. I will be putting this up soon in my Etsy shop.

New Broadside

A new broadside I finished last week. I finally got to use my wood type in a broadside after getting my dad to cut me some spaces to use with them! I thought this saying / Flannery O'Connor short story title would make a good anti-Valentine's day gift for someone out of the Valentine's mood. Available now in my Etsy shop.

Periodic Table Printmaking Project In The News

I'm a little late in posting this, but I need to mention that this wonderful project I was a part of was mentioned in Etsy! The Periodic Table Printmaking Project has been featured in the Etsy Storque (I was Cadmium.)

More Motel Sign Printing

I had this two color motel sign linocut partially finished for about a month. I finally had some time to do it this week and I am excited about how it is coming out so far. Here are a few pictures of the work in progress. The block on the press is the first color I printed, and the uncolored block shows the black outline that I'll print next. So far so good! Hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year!

Holiday Card

I've been working on some holiday cards for myself and also for the last craft night I'll be going to. I love chartreuse so I couldn't resist this paper from Paper Source, but it turned out to be more difficult than I thought to come up with design and colors that worked on the paper. This is the final result, along with some of the linoleum blocks I used in the process. The card is now available on my Etsy shop too!
