It's Monday morning, when I make my lists and assess the week ahead as I drink my morning tea. It looks to a rather full week. Freelance projects and market work has been sneaking up on me, and multiplying like rabbits when I haven't been looking. Here's a linoleum block print I made last fall, using two blocks. The tree image this time comes from some sketches from Kew Gardens, made when I was in London last spring. Kew is an amazing place with a rich history, and I am extra fond of it because it's where I did my botanical illustration internship.
Linoleum block printing is a fun, very low-tech means of printmaking. I played with it a lot during the patient months of waiting for the etching press (not low-tech) to arrive. You can even make prints in this style using styrofoam and a ballpoint pen to score the lines.
Alright, off to actually tackle the weekly list instead of just looking at it.

Gary! Thanks! I know, definitely want to visit again, we've talked about it...maybe later this week? And yes, my awesome housemates had a baby, pretty exciting.
Were you at Kew professionally again, or was it a fun visit?
