Here to share my art and crafts. Human made only always. Header picture alt text: A black and white linocut print with words reading "ALL THE WALLS OF EMPIRE SHALL FALL" centered between two walls. The wall on the left is made of tall cement blocks and represents the walls in Palestine. The wall on the right is made of metal lengths and sheets and represents the walls on the southern border of the "U.S.". Both walls are topped with barbed wire.

@snailrageprints@metroholografix.ca it was a neat project and I learned some things: - I don't particularly like the destruction inherent in the reduction process. I know, I know, all creation is destruction, but I'd rather come out with blocks I could print again and again.
-Getting precise registration (aligning the paper with the printing block) with otherwise delightfully wispy deckled paper edges is an incredible challenge
- these color inks are not quite as opaque as I was led to believe, I had to do some additional mixing to get the pure green (shown here) to look green at all upon the red in the combined print. (It first came out looking black)
