The latest linocuts, really E-Z Cut, are packed and really to mail out for the most recent www.printmakers.info print exchange. I had planned a larger edition but wasn't very careful with the plate, which is softer and more pliable than an eraser... Lo and behold, it is now in two pieces so this is an edition of 25. I'm not particularly fond of E-Z Cut for exactly that reason: it's too easy to cut. I'll use up the rest of what I have but probably won't buy it again.

Los ultimos linocuts (en verdad E-Z Cut) estan empacados y listos para el correo para el intercambio mas recien de grabados del www.printmakers.info. Tenia la intencion de una edicion mas grande pero no cuide bien la placa (que es mucho mas suave que una goma de borrar). Asi entonces este es una edicion de solo 25. No estoy muy encantada de E-Z Cut for exactamente esta razon: es demasiado facil cortar. Usare lo que me quede pero probablemente no lo comparare jamas.

In planning a linocut flower series I've been doing some small floral studies. It's been helpful to better understand the structure of the blossoms.

En planear una serie de flores en linoleo, he estado dibujando unos estudios pequenos. Ha sido muy beneficioso para mejor entender la estructura del flor.
