One thing that I absolutely love to do is block print. For some reason I love thinking about what will be black and white. When I carve out a certain area I love that the simple cuts I make will ultimately form a bigger picture.
Anyways, I love making these and it has a relaxing and calming effect on me. Here are some sites of my favorite block printers, they make books and have mad skills. Betsy Bowen and Stephen Alcorn
Here are a few I have been working on:
Happy Printing!
These are really great, Caitlyn! I LOOOOVE the chicakadee one! And of course the Maple Moon one! ♥ I can’t bear to give away those cards!
I need to make myself some copies of the Maple Moon one and then give you the block, hey didn’t someone just have a birthday =)
LOVE!!!!!!!! The chick-a-dee one and the horse one and the Maple Moon one are my faves. Beautiful work. I remember Nancy teaching us this at Homeschool Group and you were definitely the best at it. My brain has a hard time working backwards like that, probably related to how terrible I am at math somehow. 😛
thanks Tonia, I didn’t add that I made these after I tried to paint a picture- major fail. I had to hurry up and make something that looked like I didn’t just barf on some paper, seriously Sophi can paint better than me =) ah the good ol’ homeschool group days!
