Valentine's day

For a number of years now, Denise and I have celebrated Valentine's Day with an art project (and co-hosting a radio show, but that ended in 2015). We've made jewelry, stitched books, rolled tiles, pulled paper, did monoprints. This year, we decided to see if her book press could double as a printing press.

Turns out the answer is yes. We weren't able to get anything good from the gravure blocks we brought back from her mother's basement in January, but we made and printed a few blocks of our own..

Here's my first ever woodcut. Not bad, huh?
