This was definitely my favorite project so far this year. I started by working on the selfie on my iPad to figure out which way my carves and hatching should go. Then, after my practice blocking, I moved on to my full sized lino block. At first I transferred the drawing of my selfie onto the block, then I started carving. I ended up carving one side of my face and the opposite side background on the back side of my block, so I could have parts of the print that were white, some were black, some were red, and some were a combination of those. Then I cut the mat with the help of Ms. H. I tried to put value into all of the carves and it really shows in my matted print.
