Moo Mini Cards part deux!

They just arrived, the 1st re-order... gotta love these little business cards!

NorM?

I think this is too funny. Being both a huge Agatha Christie fan and being "Norm" - a friend picked this up for me at a garage sale. I can see a whole "Norm" collection starting...

Ok, and one confession - this isn't the exact cover that I received. The story takes place in WWII Europe and revolves around Tommy & Tuppence chasing a couple of German spies. Let's just say I like this cover better. There's a different cover pictured in my FLICKR account.

Linoleum Block Prints

So, I've been tossing around the idea of doing lino block prints of Norm. This is one of the 1st that I've done. I'm enojoying the process and the freshness of the outcome. Granted, I still have a lot to learn.

And learn I shall. I am embarking on a project to do an ABC book in lino block prints done by Kindergarteners. They will draw the designs - 1 block for each letter. A team of 4 parents will cut the blocks, then the kids will help us print the accordion style book. It should be fun, but I never imagined how much planning goes into something like this. For example, how to do you explain positive/negative to a 5 year old? Or try to get a "scribbler" to draw big enough shapes that an adult can interpret into an easy to carve block - granted you can do fine detail on lino blocks, but when there are 26 to cut...

Fingers crossed, all will go smoothly with the book and I will pick up a few tips & tricks. Then I can embark on my own book adventure.

IF: Tales and Legends

So what if Little Red Riding Hood & the Wolf were one in the same?

a little press can't be a bad thing, huh?

ok, just a little craziness to end the week:

I am a Snapdragon What Flower Are You?

I'm a Snapdragon: "Mischief is your middle name, but your first is friend. You are quite the prankster that loves to make other people laugh." And how true it is!

A New Year, A New look -

ok, not quite - I can't imagine Norm looking any different than he already does.

But, I had a lot of positive response on "The Shades of Grey" (and sold the original), so I am contemplating working more in grey scale painting...

what do you think?
