Finally these two birds were printed. I printed them with a vandercook.
It's very hard to stop carving so i carved two more blocks!! They will be printed next weekend and I will learn how to set types next week.
I didn't expect I would be introduced the linoleum block printing when I registered the letterpress class.
I am glad that I take the class. My goal is one day I can make a children book and I know it won't happen too soon, but I will work hard and keep learning. (Also I am still thinking of weaving class, I need more time and more money.)

A childrens book, yes please!
Love the new blocks. Very pretty as they are, like art pieces. The print looks great too.
i love those prints. i too want to learn carving!
The prints turned out beautifully, and I love the new blocks, too. So glad you're taking this class!
what a lovely print !
my sister took a class as well & she bought me a little linoleum block to play around with. i am inspired & will carve something soon. :))
Beautiful, Yu-i...
I don't think you are as far off as you think you are in putting together a children's book. You have the talent...and the skills...you could make a simple one on the Vandercook.

PS: Where are you taking a letterpress class? I'd love to get back in the print studio...
