After so much anticipation of the flea market last week, I would like to share this framed laser-cut calligraphy piece that I ended up with, amongst other treasures. It has a nice vintage and folk art feel to it, even though it was dated 1990. I think the verse is quite nice, too. The color would be perfect in our dining room, but I have yet to commit to a final home for it. Look at all that lovely detailing! I am a sucker for tulips, hearts, and symmetry.
These are the beginning in a series of prints and projects from my new linoleum block. They are the result of spending a full day last week listening to Paul Simon and staring at my handsome little boy.
I wasn't too excited about the way these turned out, so I simplified the background for the last two prints, abandoning the idea of a white impression. I'm not giving up on this stamp yet. I'll post photos soon of the successful final use of this lino.
