Block printing

What he had loved most about carving was the SEEING part, which happened even before you began.

Interested in giving it a go? This is a good beginner's tutorial:

All these demonstrations were really cool. And though they're the same basic process, the materials are quite different. And ALL of them require a lot of visualization preparation and patience!

I'm taking a block printing class online with Ashley Wolf (yes, the children's book illustrator) right now! I've learned so much...and have so much still to learn!
