Printmaking for Christmas Cards

  • My goals and intentions for this project were to carve deep enough to show the detail of the design.
  • I accomplished my goals by carving over each line twice and spreading the words out enough.
  • I was surprised at how easily the Linoleum Gauge can slip if you are not careful.
  • The most difficult challenge was the lettering and the garland by all of the details and curves.
  • I met that challenge by taking my time to really carve everything deep enough without messing up the wording.
  • I experienced the shift to right brain by focusing on each shape I was carving instead of the overall picture.
  • My work really works with the fire place and garland.
  • Something I learned to bring into my next art piece is to spread the lettering out and to not squish it all together.
  • If I had a do-over I would make the borders bigger and more visible.
  • I feel the best things are the fire and the garland.
