“Goblin Dance” 1912 Woodblock Print by Bertha Lum

a lovely sense of movement in this print. How does Lum achieve this? Dancer's leaning. Rope made of light. Foreground dancers are larger. The colors on this seem streaky. Is that deliberate, bad printing or a function of age? I think it's actually the grain of the wood.

Carving the flower keyblock. As a full-time parent of two toddlers, carving sessions can be anywhere from 5-15 minutes. A little studio action here and there goes a long way over time!

Thin western papers are great beginner papers for Mokuhanga because they’re less likely to print recessed areas on your block. I damped some RIVES Lightweight BFK to print my flower keyblock.

Doing some experiments with printing wood grain. Maybe not as creatively interesting as carving my own stuff, but it looks cool!
