It also thrills me that the paper is partly recycled, not always an easy thing to fine in nice printmaking papers.<BR/><BR/>Annie... The wood is McClain's all-ply shina. I took Maria Arango's advice of letting the wood 'slurp' in oil and have experienced no splintering.<BR/><BR/>I'm not brave enough yet to try engraving but I dearly love looking at Andy English's work. It really inspires me to be better.Diane Cutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847435040149730066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24407256.post-72619603718870867312007-07-17T09:41:00.000-04:002007-07-17T09:41:00.000-04:00Ditto Barbara on the great choice of paper.

I've been charmed by the work of other woodcut artists, especially the engravers, and have been striving for more representational work in my woodcuts... My monoprints are still very abstract but I love the detail when working with wood. I find both ways of working a lovely balance from getting too loose or too tight.Diane Cutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847435040149730066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24407256.post-43732096822711453422007-07-16T20:43:00.000-04:002007-07-16T20:43:00.000-04:00Another lovely piece.
