I made a test-run of a new linoleum block print design I'm working on.

The registration is off, and I didn't wait very long between layering the colors, so they're pretty wonky. However, I now know what I'm going to get, and can make some edits to my cuttings. I'm also getting more ideas for prints along the same theme:

I'm on a roll. The only problem is I've run out of linoleum. Drat.

Or maybe not. Luckily, my birthday's coming up, and I've made a wishlist over at Utrecht (under hellojostudio [at] gmail [dot] com). I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that The Husband will wander over there and read my mind, so to speak.

Either way, working like this excites me. I'm spending more time out of the computer, and I can feel it stretching me and feeding me in good places. Good, delicious things.
