I have fallen in love with printmaking…..appeals to the artsy-craftsy in me, very tactile.  Bought a lovely set of wood carving tools at a local wood shop as I just did not enjoy AT ALL using the Speedball plastic one with all the hassle of changing the blades.  Now I’ve got a great set of 6 tools with warm wood handles ready to go at any time.  I use battleship grey linoleum and the last bit I bought didn’t even have a backing, just pure lino.  A dream to cut, too!

Couldn’t resist rendering my original painting of Blush into a linocut.
