The fish at the zoo woodblocks are coming along slooowly, and I'm beginning to think I bit off more than I can chew, at least at this time in my life. I only work on them a bit at a time and there are several blocks with lots of little shapes. I think I will be able to visualize the whole thing a lot better once I pull some proofs, but I'm not at that stage yet. I've been wondering if the reduction method (carving all the colors from one block and printing in stages) might be better suited to my way of thinking and working. I've used it before and liked it, but the risk is high as there are no do-overs if you mess up.
Meanwhile, my ideas for things I'd like to work on next are piling up, so I may set this aside temporarily to do some quicker projects, like monotypes or woodblocks with fewer colors. I've been thinking about papers I'd like to try and bought this neat little paper sampler from Graphic Chemical. I thought it would help me make a decision, but I really am tempted to try all the paper! |
