Yesterday afternoon during a torrential downpour, I worked my way through part of an edition of Reggie dog. Today I pulled them out from under the blotters and sorted quality. Looks like five don’t make the cut so far. Still wondering how large an edition I should create. How many Labradoodle lovers are out thereContinue reading “A lot of Reggie!”

Terrier Print: day 3
I thought I told myself to not work on the print today. Sit is getting pretty close to completion. I’ll let it rest for a day or two and allow it to mull about in my brain. Onward with the next project!
Terrier on a Bench Print: day 2
Ah, the best way to spend a birthday is by working on art! Emma’s wavy chest hairs have taken form. Feet are taking form too. This print will probably be titled “Sit”. Tomorrow I’ll need to get back to work on the Portal piece since the due date is approaching. Then there is the NovContinue reading “Terrier on a Bench Print: day 2”
Terrier on a Bench: day 1 progress
This was the progress made yesterday afternoon. Quite a jump from the first posting. That sneaky Emma is starting to show through!
Terrier on a Bench Print: start
I’m procrastinating heading into the DMV to renew my license. So like all good art procrastinators, I started a new project. Emma belongs to Cynthia & Patrick. The end block print will be 6″x 8″. Why green? I like to use pigment inks to test images rather than inking up a roller and making aContinue reading “Terrier on a Bench Print: start”
Border Collie Print: second block
Looks like it will be a toss up between two blocks now. Block #1 took on a …. well…. lemur like ear appearance yesterday. Rather tufty and not what I wanted. Kind of difficult to add back to the block. To satisfy my need to get things right, I started another block. I really likeContinue reading “Border Collie Print: second block”
Border Collie print contd.
Rogue is slowly coming forward from the block. Some of his black spots have disappeared and his nose is a bit funky, but no worries. It’s still the boy! Kind of dreading getting into the ear section and have yet to decide how the background will come together. Also contemplating the ball… yes there isContinue reading “Border Collie print contd.”
Portals Project: day 7
Our first frosty morning was spent cutting hemlock boards in the garage. Cold! Why do I decide to work on wood projects during cold weather? Why not during the summer? Guess they just never surface during warmer weather… or the garage is too hot during the summer. Picky, picky, picky! 😉 This is the casementContinue reading “Portals Project: day 7”
Labradoodle print: second try
It’s always so easy to make a wrong cut when working with block prints. On examination of the first block I realized Reggie’s lower jaw had just become hair. So, I pulled out another block and started over. It’s getting pretty close to completion now!
Labradoodle Proof Print
Since the terrier print was so enjoyable to create, I’ve decided to do another today. This one is based on my friend Amee’s Labradoodle named Reggie. Like the terrier print, it’s 4″x4″ .
