This 18.5 x 14.25" print

 is printed by hand onto 20.5" x 17" Kitakata paper. 

It's a tight fit onto the paper, but it does fit well. 

Not a fan of matting, because it many times reminds me of too tight underwear, 

I would float this. 

It is the first of 12 that I've got lined up to keep me out of trouble.

First printed about December 11th, 2016, scanned by Picture Salon January 23, 2017

Show & Tell of a few WhiteLine prints

Answering a request for several whiteline prints to be

at the end of one link,

I've assembled a few of them here.

Quality and color will be different

due to different camera, times and places.

 

I live here.

Beginning of a WoodBlock print

Under the watchful eye of 7 Pound Betty, 

now occupying the position of studio Muse, 

I begin the first official block of the Garden of Eden project.

Woodblock and Artist Proof

11" tall by about 10.5" wide. 
Photos by cell phone.
Proof was hanging so not really square,
but I couldn't wait.
I needed to see what I cut.
I didn't do the best job of finishing the wood before I began, 
so it's troublesome to print
and the wood warps.
I will never again not begin a properly prepared board.

I have 9 more sheets of paper to print,
and then I will begin planning out the next block.
