Printmaking

I am getting really excited about the idea of starting a card/stationary business using the block prints I've been making. I posted the Goliath beetle on my Facebook page and got a strong response from people saying they would buy these kinds of cards. It was encouraging so I started to explore the idea more in my mind while Mike was in Argentina. I found a printmaking class at the local City College that is offered through their adult education program. This particular class is aimed at people ages 55+ but I was still allowed in, so I signed up. I really enjoy making the block prints and so far the cards I've made have turned out great. This is something I could see myself actually getting into so this class will help develop my skills and techniques and teach me about materials to use and things like that. Getting some real information instead of just making it up as I go is going to be neat. Mike is even going to join me in the class. It will be a fun way to spend our Friday nights for 10 weeks starting in April. Anyway, if you can't tell, I'm looking forward to this and it'll be fun to see if anything comes of this new interest. For now I'm still just playing at home and creating new blocks. Pictured above is my latest creation -- a wasp.
