Elephant and (inset landmark here)


 There's an upcoming event this weekend organised by the library. It's got a Diwali theme to it. This is a part of the Alex's contribution. Cards that kids (of all ages) could colour and decorate. I did five blocks (3 landmarks and 2 elephants) that could be mixed and matched to make six 2-block prints. Like this. 







It's that woman again


 In a bid to rediscover my mojo after a summer of physical labour on the Alex, I took a couple of blocks from an earlier piece (see here and here) and tweaked them and combined them with printing from some old texture wallpaper I'd removed from a wall. Like the previous one, it's not brilliant, but it allowed me to proceed with the sense of experimentation with pretty low stakes. The wallpaper came out a lot better than I expected.

Close work


 I've done a couple of things this month that I've not felt good about. But not so bad that I consigned them instantly to the bin. This is the first. It's based on a drawing I did earlier in the year. I think it needs something, not sure what. I'm thinking about adding colour, but in the meantime, it just sits there looking at me until I decide.
