I LOVE the look of woodblock prints. So, I am not very proud, but I will show, the first & humble attempt. So please be gentle :) I did buy some more blocks to carve, so I will keep trying. Man, do I admire the woodblock printers, even more! I had taken a very graphic bird/rainbow/flower image that I had designed in InDesign for a friend & decided to try to carve it into a 2-color print. The top block was the background & the bottom left block was the bird. Agh.... in my defense, Sophia, my 3 yr old was sitting on my lap the entire time..... :)

Looks fun! I did one in high school and loved it. Have you tried making your pattern on the computer first? I guess that's cheating...but that's how I play now! : )
