Ex Libris prints

"In conjunction with the Guenzel Gallery exhibition, Out of the Woods, 

join us for a free print fair with participating artist Linda Kelen 

and create a small woodblock print. 

All materials provided."

 It's happening this coming Saturday in Fish Creek...

Door County, Wisconsin...

so I've been cutting wood and printing the blocks as fast as I can 

to show what's possible to do in a short amount of time. 
I'm just using 1/4" and 3/8th inch Shina Plywood.

I'll post them here as I finish them.

An ExLibris print 

seems (to me) to be a perfect end goal 

for whomever might want to pick up a knife.

Personalization possible!
 So.....we'll see what happens.

Woodprints postings

There is only so much time,

and I seem to have managed to get myself into more activities 

than planetary time allows.

Having neglected this blog for reasons unknown,

since I have been actively cutting and printing woodblocks,

I'll begin by showing you what I did last night,

and work backward for a bit.

Snapped with my cell phone,

this is one of the 4" x 6" woodblocks I cut it generate some interest in a public woodprint workshop I'm involved in at the Peninsula School of Art in conjunction with a fine woodprint show they are readying for.

I'll have more information soon.

This next one will be printed sometime this afternoon:

4"x6" block to be printed next.

The whiteline wood print completed last week.

Whiteline woodprint done, still attached to block

 I AM teaching a short three day WhiteLine Woodblock printmaking class at the Peninsula School of Art.

I'll do my best to keep this a bit more up to date....

in the mean time, my blog ARTINGS gets a little more attention.
