I've been mulling over a couple of monochrome #linocutprints and in the process I returned to this little print. In RIVER BEND I tried to capture that magic moment the light starts to shape the world around us. A monochrome approach felt perfect for it. What do you think? #blockprinting

THE KISS, Unframed & framed: What a difference a frame does, don't you think? The moment I changed from an 8x8 frame (the size of the paper) to a 16x16 one with a wide mat board this print popped in a way that truly made me happy. So now I only display it on that bigger frame 😍 #linocut #printmaking

There are still 2 spots available for the August 16-23 workshop, let me know if you have any questions! Jigsaw Printing is really fun because it allows you to get a full color print in one go. This #printmaking method is really special and joyful, to be honest, I just want to spread the word!
