Woodcut Print 1
This is a Woodcut Print. I have originally inked up the wood before I started cutting it. I rolled around 20 plates with different colours. This sets up the background colours.
The following week I took the same piece of wood and started carving out the picture of the flowers and the birds. Inked up the plate and placed it over the already dry colour pieces of paper.
The end result is about 20 prints, all of which are unique and different. The prints are printed on University Paper with blue denim ink.
WILL POST A BETTER IMAGE OF THIS TOMORROW.

Ok, first you find a piece of wood. Then you draw your image onto the wood. Then you cut out the negative or positive, whichever you prefer. Then you seal it with shellac. After its dry you roll (with a roller) the ink onto the plate. Place the paper over the top of the plate. Then carefully, with perhaps a spoon, rub all over the image. Check every know and then to see if there are spots that are not inking up. Its an old Japanese method. I love woodcutting. See me in ARtist Palette Magazien Issue no. 68 (one more month) for a woodcutting demonstration. Yipea!

This is incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard of a Woodcut Print. So much work! The colors are absolutely so vibrant and gorgeous – and you are an awesome artist. I love it!

Hey, it is so nice of you to say so. I love woodcutting, its such amazing therapy for someone like me who likes to take something with her whereever she goes. Unlike painting, I can take my wood and tools with me and carve away wherever! The printing process is fun also.
Thanks for commenting from so far away. Billy

Maybe you like this one better, I still havn’t sent your print. But guess what school is over, its done! So now I go to the post office and mail your print. Ok, sorry to be a bother but email me at home again with which one you like (doesn’t matter about size) and your address. It goes out first thing Monday morning! Ah huh! No more excuses!

Wow thanks Bee, I did the second edition by cutting out more wood and getting more of the foreground to stand out. I just never took a picture of it. I should do that though. Thanks for your comments. Yea, woodcutting is so enjoyable for me, its just laying out the initial design that take my head forever to think of! Wish I could come up with one now, I’m dying to get woodcutting again. B
