OK, I don't know if this is much good but I got 'er done. We had a snow day and I pulled out the piece of wood and carved away a relief print, inked it up and colored it with wc pencils. Even though I don't have any control or skill level with wood-cut tools yet and all my other stuff defines control and detail, and even though this is a completely different ball of wax and has all sorts of beginner screw ups in it and probably isn't much good technically or artistically....I really like it. I don't know why. It's like somebody gave me a present, right there in my kitchen.

I just love snow days.

I haven't done any wood-cut prints in a few years. Whenever I get tired of doing what I'm doing now, I might have to explore that avenue again.
