About the Block Print Series:  A few years ago, one of the residents at Pine Meadow Ranch created a simple block print stamp using a soft carving block. She got me started with the correct materials, and I was hooked!   I love the simple hand-carved effect without the effort of carving a woodblock.   I’ve been using the pieces I’ve created to print in my sketchbook -- testing out different papers, inks, and techniques.   The original prints are printed on Rives BFK Heavyweight printing paper. The smooth surface of this 100% cotton paper accepts the inks without creating another texture from the paper itself.  The giclee prints are produced by High Desert Frameworks in Bend Oregon, and I sign and titel each print.
