Signing and starting to address envelopes to send these prints out on Friday for #reliefconspiracy
This is my first time participating. So excited to see what other relief postcards I'll receive in the mail
Since it is my first time doing this I figured I'd throw a bunch more firsts in there
First reduction woodcut
First time using my #portableprintingpress
First time hand mixing my own inks using #earthpigments
These prints are far from perfect but I am proud of all these firsts.

Image descriptions: Series of images of woodcut prints on white postcard sized paper. They are layered prints using handmixed colors yellow ochre, burnt sienna, and Cyprus burnt umber. The artwork depicts a side profile of a face and a series of branches that frame a nest with a pair of common Yellowthroat warblers. The series of photos shows the different colors and different phases of one woodcut block that is cut more and more each layer. Reduction cuts cannot be reproduced again
