Well looky what I found!


I was looking in my closet among the ancient papers and junk for our marriage cert. so that Comcast would let my husband hook up digital in his own house...don't even ask. I'm surprised they didn't ask for DNA samples. Anyway, I found this neat-o little linoleum block I carved waaaaaay back when I was 17 years old. That is a long time ago. It is a picture of a monk harvesting wheat. I had a thing for Medieval art and still do.


I rolled some linoblock/screen printing ink for fabric on and printed on some old shirt fabric I had laying around. The linoleum block is cracked. I thought maybe I could fix that with some Elmer's but no go. It's 32 years old so I'm lucky it printed anything. I'm not sure how long these things last.
