Press Update: A Happy Ending and A New Beginning.



An update on the press saga.  I received the third bed plate the night before last and now my press is finally functional. It has been a frustrating couple of weeks.  This is the first ever print I pulled, which I did yesterday morning.  I'm looking forward to this weekend and am hoping to get a lot of printing in.

I am up early this morning, too, ready to print some more.  I have at least 20 linoleum blocks to print from my most recent carving binge.  I carved blocks without printing them, in anticipation of getting the new press.  I had a difficult time deciding which one to do first.

So, in the next month or so, expect to see a lot of new work being posted.  All work, new and old, will be available on my website and my Etsy shop.

Looking forward to seeing your new prints. You must have had steam coming out your ears for a while there.
