Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Have a lucky day!
In my heritage I may be a smidgen Irish
I'm unsure - a combination of many Euro nationalities.
I'll still wear a hint of green today
avoiding the cheeky pinch.


either way,
...I owe my Irishman a kiss*


Cheers,
Lynsey

*I'll happily plant this kiss on Friday when I see him :)

Midnight Oil

hi all!

i have a second to let you know what i'm up to... and am excited to show you my first multiple-block woodcut print!

currently in printmaking class, we're working with carving wood to create these lovely printing blocks. the imagery is always up to the creator, but this assignment asked us to use at least four different overlaying woodblocks & to play with colors. (no black ink allowed)

i might do a little show & tell about the process and what each step looks like later on, but for now, here's the final product. not the best photo, but you get the idea of overlapping color and images to create interesting changes and gradients of color and shape.

although i was in the studio till 4 am... working 10-14 hour days, i'm so happy the midnight oil paid off!

hope you all had a great 4th!
