I have been dabbling a tiny bit in woodblock printing. And shall continue dabbling, because that's how I roll. I really like it, and have begun to scheme a bit.

Also working on crochet, embroidery, that tea chest door, and some other random goodies.

Click through the photo to see a few more images from this project.

Pretty. How do you carve the wood bits out? The Intartubes could tell me, but sometimes they lie.

I used a basic set of Niji woodcarving knives, mostly the v-profile one. I tried using the Speedball set, but the v blade is a little too narrow for me.

This is, truly, just like linocut / Speedball stuff. I inked it with my Speedball roller and ink, too...
