1
Sketch a design on paper or, in the case of wood, directly
on the
block. (Ideas for sketches can come from anything that
interests
me.)2
Carve out every part of the
design that is to remain white (or paper-colored.)
Leave behind
every part that is to be black (or ink-colored.)3
Roll the block with ink.
4
Press paper onto the inked
block. (I have a small press, but more often use
the back
of a wooden spoon.)Label the edition.
Each print is numbered and signed.
