"This little house"

12" x 18" Woodcut print edition
Printed on 80 LB pure white paper



This print was done 100% by hand. I drew the original image directly on a block of basswood 




and carved the image in low-relief using hand tools. To print the finished block onto paper 
I rolled Gamblin oil relief ink onto the block. Paper was placed on the block and I rubbed the ink into the paper with a baren. I made 4 prints as you can see by the numbering. I am going to experiment with different color techniques with one or two of the prints
