... ink. I use black ink by tradition, though I enjoy dabbling with colored and especially gold ink on occasion. I embellish some prints with watercolor.
Each print is slightly different, due to ink saturation and chatter pickup (background flecks). Blockprints are considered original art because each is printed by hand and is slightly unique. Original prints can be confused with reproductions -- digital copies of art. I create original, numbered prints in a limited series.
While making new prints gives me the most joy, I discovered that people have more 'art confidence' purchasing usable items than they have purchasing wall art. I happily delved into textiles, and I make blockprinted pillowcovers stuffed with large feather pillows, zipper clutches, scarves, totes, and tea towels. I make these items myself. The Big Mitten Linocuts textile line is growing!
