10 x 10 in, 2B Blocks, white lined & Black Ink, Akua on Rives BFK, edition 50. I am using both white line color block & black ink to achieve my goal. It is a little different from other water-based prints, but I find it interesting, little worry over registration and use of only two blocks is easier to cut and print.

Child w/ Broom
8 x 8 in, One block shina plywood reduction, Holbein watercolors $ Sumi ink on Torinoko Cream Paper from Mc Clains, edition Open. This print is based on a photo of one of my children when younger. I tried to be consistent in printing, but experimenting with getting texture on the bricks means that every print is a little bit different. So, it is a varied edition. Part of the block was destroyed in the little bit of reduction that I did. The red bricks were printed first and then part of the carved away in order to print the black outline of the child.
