Keep 'em comin'

Today I wanted to go in a different route entirely- I never really do flowers and stuff, but I've started getting more interested in them. I've had LOTUS FLOWER scrawled in my sketchbook throughout the pages, but until now, never did anything with it.

So.

This was really cool because it's about a 2 1/2x 7" piece of mdf and I started the chevron pattern, decided to add the flower, and then wanted it to be simple and kinda different on the top.

I loveee the textures that come out of woodcuts; they're very raw but beautiful and powerful.

This time I put some black gesso on top of my sharpied drawing so that I could see my cuts more clearly. Helped a ton.

I keep running out of time and having to leave right after I start printing, so these still need some sanding work and definitely color, but for the most part I'm really pleased and think it came out well. :)
