A little carving perhaps? Day One

Starting a new project...to design, carve, and print some cards...
In the Linoleum block method.
One of the hardest parts is to come up with a design that will hold my interest for the whole process...
I looked to Florence Broadhurst, an Australian wallpaper designer who was popular in the 50's and 60's and was found murdered in 1977 ...whoa! unsolved murder as well...very tragic
But she was fabulous designer and my inspiration for this creative sojourn
Initial sketch

transferring image to block of linoleum...attempting to anticipate the thickness of the carved lines...

Carving has begun

...and continues

detail of the itty bitty carving spaces... haven't cursed myself out yet for the intricacies...yet


and to be continued on another day....gotta go make some money
