I have had a busy week with work and a million other things the flu included... we are officially the house of snot I tell you even poor Barry was almost buried in the great kleenex avalanche of 2016 which means I am squeezing in some lino play where and when I can I started filming my new upcoming online class last week and am slowly but surely building it up and it is such a pleasure doing it and immersing myself in all things relief printing after so many years away from it but I keep getting distracted for example I am loving the idea of putting down panels of colour behind lino prints any way to infuse colour into them is a good thing and I really want to print some using coloured inks... and so many other things it is like my brain is on fast forward and all my thoughts are sounding like they are in chipmunk voices In fact I am generally in love with the whole process really I want to play with some hand colouring as well not to mention some two piece blocks and some reduction prints the mind is boggling like crazy it is a bit weird how our creative brains fixate on things at times but it is a nice break away from illustration work and some watercolour commissions though the more I do it the more obsessed I have been becoming These two blocks are my latest project and happily they are all drawn up and ready to carve in fact I even got some carving done this afternoon and I am really impatient to get to them over the weekend and of course there is printing an edition of this one in the work queue so I can get it into the online store and then I want to do a similar one that I can hand colour so many prints and so many idea and so little time Happy painting all...xx
