Such a hiatus from my blog... After the Summit we had a wonderful, lengthy visit from daughter #1 and her clan from Australia, then a visit from our son and his group. Finally things are back to normal and I am back in my studio once again...

Here, finally, is a proof for 'Shy', my first woodblock. I think the step on the right looks odd so will add wood putty and finish the edge. Also I will mull over the doorway (vertical lines at the top) and will probably eliminate those since they don't read right.

Tanto tiempo sin abrir mi blog... Despues del Baren Summit tuvimos una visita larga de mi hija mayor and su familia (de Australia), luego una visita de nuestro hijo y los suyos. Al fin todo esta ya normal y estoy habitando mi estudio de nuevo...

Aqui, finalmente, hay una prueba para 'Shy' ('Timida'), mi prima corte en madera. Pienso que parece un poco raro la escalera a la derecha abajo por eso voy a repararla con un poco de masilla para madera y cortarla de nuevo. Tambien no estoy muy satisfecha con la entrada (lineas verticales en la parte de arriba) y probablemente la voy a eliminar porque no me dice nada.

I'm so glad to see this, Diane. I remember you working on it at the Summit and it's nice to see it printed. Hard to believe it's your first woodcut, but then looking at your linocut (especially the jaguar block) you're no stranger to printing!

Thanks, Ellen. I really like the ability to make fine lines which is much more difficult with lino...
