Prints reconsidered

OK, you guys convinced me to pull most of the prints from the yard sale and try to sell them here on the blog. I need to re-mat most of them as the mats are dinged up from years of moving them around unframed, so it will be a little while before they are available.

I found one box of blocks today.

It included the two blocks for the mushroom print. That was the one that you all expressed the most interest in. Since I have only one print left of that one I may print a second edition of that piece.

Rayna suggested I try printing some of these on fabric, which I have tried, with little success, but I may try again. I really need a press, I think, to print well on fabric. For most of these my press is the back of a wooden spoon! The biggest piece there, of the lily, was a reduction piece, so all that is left is the last color printed, but it is an outline, so it may have some possibilities for something. The Chartres Cathedral block is the most intricate block I ever carved and one of my favorites. I carved it after seeing Chartres. There are other blocks in the box. As the box notes, there are some etching plates I made in college in there as well. I really do need a press to print those.
