I know that tune . . .

I've finished printing the first of my new set of designs and now I'm busy carving the blocks for the other two designs. I should have time for some lengthy sessions immersed in the details, because clients have been told that booking for work to be finished before Easter is now closed – I hope there's something good on the radio!

The first print is finished – when I scanned it I loved noticing the details and how the colours overlap. Transforming a sketch, through a planned design to a print from the hand carved blocks is like hearing a familiar tune played on a different instrument . . .



I've decided not to post the complete finished print today – they have a special date for unveiling, more about that another time.

  1. It is a lovely design. Pity you can't print on fabric which is my medium!

  6. It's going to be lovely, lovely, lovely, I can feel it. Any time left for your gardening? I'm having the same problem. Could easily fill 48 hrs to every day. Regards, F
