New print proof and morning reflections

Still chipping away at linocuts and trying to get good prints.

New block also copied from Pinterest

Old Speedball ink gifted by artist from Pensacola Book Arts Guild

Trying out new foam roller instead of rubber brayer.

Proof print!

Pretty cool.  These are all 4" X 5" blocks that I've sectioned from 8" X 10" blocks.  I bought a bulk package of these since it was significantly cheeper and I knew I needed something to practice on.  This print had lots of white lines as I've been studying Japanese white line prints.  I added retarder to the ink to keep it from drying out in about 5 minutes and added too much.  With the foam roller, it sank into the thinner lines on the left.  I carved a bit more on lower right and will print some more.  Possibly in blue.

Managed a walk yesterday morning and took my phone with me

Tried to capture reflections in puddles
