I've been slowly working on a lino block print. It's entitled "Head and Heart." It took me a while to figure out the hand drawing, and then I did the carving in stages. At one point I was worried I had made a "mistake" that couldn't be undone, but I slept on it, and the next morning I played around and felt satisfied. I've been experimenting with different Speedball block paint colors, like blue and turquoise. I also have painted the heart red with watercolor paint on some of them. The paper I use is masa paper and I like to print on the glossy side, but the textured side works well too, you just have to put more pressure on the block to get an even stamp.

This is so much fun and minimally frustrating.
That's really cool art. It has its own unique look to it.
Best,
