Printmaking Class: Design and Print Your Own Cards

Cute image of two ornaments leaning on each other. The budding card artist plans to use the open space to individualize each one with glitter or names or whatever inspiration may come.


Not everyone wanted to do holiday cards. Great to see what they each came up with.

 The snow-covered birdhouse is a thank you note. This artist cut two blocks to create her design.
In this photo, you can see the printmaking block right in front.

I think these pictures give a good idea of the strong graphic quality that a block print will bring to an image.

An amazing time was had by all (especially the teacher.)

...and more cards


And the first round of printing is done. I wanted to get a good selection to show the owner of the stationer's shop so that she'd have something to pick from. I think my next set will be printed from soft blocks, which have yet to be designed or cut. Busy, busy!
