The Cutting

While still desperately searching for my southern creative self.... I found some classes at the local university...Stamford After Dark.

And, block printing was one of them ...excitement... I always wanted to try this!
... and who doesn’t need to attempt craft technique # 427 ?

Held in the evening, only 2 classes...a simple block of linoleum and a speed tool...how hard could that be?

Damn hard.... but, now have a new appreciate for this craft!

Will definitely try another block...but will start off much simpler. A sea horse ...REALLY...what was I thinking???
The hardest part is getting your mind to think, negative and positive...what will hold ink and print... and what will not.

And if you attempt... the most needed tool....
