PRINTING

I still have my printmaking class, but I've missed quite a bit with doctor's appointments and things. We have done woodcuts and linocuts.


This is the image I used for my woodcut. Our assignment was a self-portrait. I have the block done (carved), but haven't printed it yet. I'll post a print if I ever get done.

This is the linocut I hope to print today. (It looks a bit strange because I blackened a bunch of the edges with a sharpie to see what needed to be done- the grays will be black). Our assignment was to do a memory from childhood- preferably one involving fear. When I was 3-4 I had to have gamma globulin shots regularly because I was so sickly. That's what this image is about.
