Press Update

I ordered my press a few months ago, and I wasn't sure exactly when to expect it, especially because some aspects were special order. It turns out that based on the date I ordered it, the press should be ready to ship in mid-September. I'm really looking forward to it. I definitely did not expect that I would be ready and waiting, with the space cleared and everything, but I am!

Meanwhile, I'm floundering a bit as to what to work on next. I'm getting ready for a show in November, so I'm definitely keeping close to my recent themes for now, but I really want to take it to the next level, whatever that means. Bigger and better, I guess. Lately, my prints have been very different from what I would draw or paint, which sometimes feels really liberating and sometimes feels like a disconnect. I've ordered some blocks of shina and luan (knowing the press-date helped me finally figure out what sizes I'll realistically be able to use in soon), and while I wait for them to arrive, I'm hoping I can find some time to draw and possibly paint with ink.
