Darn the free public library systems of the United States! The Kitsap Country Library runs wonderful educational programs for adults and children from how to use a computer to making mixed media mini tiles out of dominoes to reading to a dog. A few months ago, I took a class on making lino-block prints--a craft that most of us last did in our high school years. I had so much fun that I resolved to make my own Blessi Christmas cards. Did I start in September? October? November? How about six days before Christmas?To the left is a photo of my results so far--the wood block has been cut but I have yet to pull my first print. Oh, don't worry the bandage covers a developing blister from cutting the wood block. The red is from the marker used to highlight the block to see if I cut enough surface material. And I still have an hour till midnight. I am off to ink up the roller!
