Here we go again!

Should I be worried that I anticipate 10 colors before I even start?

I'll tear down paper tonight and possibly get a color on tomorrow. The kicker is that I'll be gone several days this week AND next, so I don't think I'll get very far very fast. But without a lino block on the table I get really cranky really quickly. And you just don't want to be around for that. Trust me.


Mystery countdown: Twelve.

    12 Colours !!
    Good Luck. Even if you only do an edition of 10 thats a lot of prints to pull with a baren. How big is that linoblock?

    Hoping I can keep it to 10, Stuart... but you know me.... The block is only 6" x 9". Manageable. I hope!

    Your sketch is gorgeous.

    I totally relate to your comment about getting cranky if you don't have a block on the table. After moving last month and basically doing no major printmaking for 4 or 5 weeks, my emotional state is pretty poor at this point.

    Hmmm, what could you be counting down??
