I decided to buy my first table at a local art show that is hosted by the 4As in Almonte, Ontario. I think it will be the impetus needed to force me to actually get off my butt and start creating. 

This was supposed to be my first successful reduction print!

It was not. Epic fail and lessons learned. What ended up happening was a very limited run with a single block using Chin Collé technique.

I think these are really pretty but I only have about 4. What was a little experiment on the side, turned into the only viable prints from that block.

I do have a small hand press, but the rice paper I'm using here is so durable that 2 minutes of rubbing with the wooden spoon did not damage the paper at all. 

I inked both colours onto the block at the same time. I was simply careful where I used the brayer. My smallest brayer is 1" wide.

Thought it would be a nice option to have a few different small prints available.  Instead of 'painting' with the brayers, this time I decided to a multiblockprint.

This one, once again had unexpected challenges to overcome. Working small does not necessarily mean easier if doing multiple layers.
