Glide





 Glide, 3.5 x 5.5, six color Moku Hanga print on Bamboo paper. The experiments continue. I used a piece of 1/4 inch birch plywood I had laying around and carved on both sides for this two block reduction print. Things learned: birch ply does not cut as easily or hold line as well as shina, 1/4" ply is too thin to use both sides and warped badly, and the bamboo paper I used (a thick card stock), did not take the ink as well as the rice papers. The learning continues...

This is a 6 color, 2 block Moku Hanga print.  I am teaching myself that process and this is the first testing of the printing method and materials.
