I am framing a bunch of my linocut prints for another show I will be putting up on Saturday. at the @redwoodartassociation gallery, in one of their smaller upstairs rooms. I love those spaces, they feel nice and intimate and cosy. A perfect size to do a one person show. #linocut #art #catart

Yesterday’s printing went well. For this two color print, I decided to print the flowers first, and next week I will print the cat. Oh, I’m looking forward to seeing the cat. He has some out stretched front paws that I think are going to look really awesome. 😅🐈‍⬛ #linocut #printmaking

It’s a kitty puzzle! Actually this is my carved block for my next linocut print. This took a lot of time to carve apart. Now I’m ready to start printing today. It will be a two color print. This block material is Japanese vinyl. I cut it apart using an Xacto knife, #2 knife with the #2 blade.

And so, the carving begins. 🙌 This is my project for the week. If I’m lucky, I will get the printing started too. It’s going to be a two or three color print. I just haven’t decided yet. 🤔 Hope you have a good start to or week today. Happy Monday to you. 🌞 . #linocut #printmaking

Yesterday’s linocut printing. This is a second new tuxedo cat image, inspired by my cat Oreo. 💕 You can see them both drying in the last photo. This block was a challenge to print. I had a few under inked prints in the end 😠, but most printed up beautifully 😊. #linocut #catart #cat #tuxedocat

Yesterday’s linocut printing was challenging. I tried to not get ink everywhere, but managed to get ink everywhere. In the end I had almost as many bad prints as good ones. Sometimes printing is just like that. 🙌 This is a new tuxedo cat print. I’ll be printing another new one today. #linocut #cat

Spent yesterday drawing and carving a new kitty. It was good to focus on a creative project for the day. I was able to put aside all of the concerns that are eating at me, and not think and worry about them. I’m hoping to have a similar today. May the printing gods smile kindly upon me today. 🌞
