A big old tree with a swing. I never had a swing hanging from a tree growing up. I love the idea of swinging and looking up through the leaves and branches to the sky.
I mixed up a tealish green for this one. I'm going to experiment a more with printing in colors. I also picked up gold printing ink and tried out the peacock in solid gold.
Suits that fancy bird I think.
The interesting thing about the carving and printing process is once you carve it away, its gone! I had intended to leave that hole in the trunk to absorb ink but I was carving away and forgot myself. I get in a bit of a rhythm and forget my plans at times.
Beautiful! I love the rope on the swing!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have found a medium that suits you so well! Very inspiring... makes me want to go buy some supplies give it a try (I haven't done block printing since highschool!)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
