Had a chance to paint some of last week's prints. The last one still needs even more futzing. But, I like her hair... rarely do curly hair, so it was fun to try. The first lady ended up looking a lot like Sarah Jessica Parker! Not at all meant to be her, she's actually a teenager named Jetta. (was a teen in the 1970s). Woodcarving can sometimes be like clay. You never know what you're going to get when opening the kiln and same for pulling a print from the press! I love that about printmaking.I will actually be on time for 100 faces Thursday tomorrow. New drawings and wood being carved to share... which are based on an 11th century sculptor. See you tomorrow!

Great faces- and you filled them in so nicely.
I love how printing these images makes them look- there is just something so unique about each one. Yay for hand made and hand printed!
i like the way the curly headed woman is slightly off set and i like the black backgrounds on the other 2 :)
Thank you Jenniffer... I love printed faces too. They have a different vibe from any other media. :)
Hi Beth... Thanks! It's a bit like your gorgeous curly mane. I'm glad you like the dark backgrounds as it's very hard for me not to address the background - but was trying to leave it for simplicity's sake.
