Another portrait

I have now finished the portrait I was stitching for the on-line workshop with Suzie Vikery and have found that her method is quicker than how I was stitching portraits before.  There is room for lots of different methods and I am adding this one to my box of tricks.

As I am still struggling with my health issues I decided to sign up for a year of classes with this group.  It will take me out of my comfort zone and take my mind off all the other things.   So here comes 12 new projects!!

BUT, I just opened the first class and it is one that I did over 20 years ago with Dijanne Cevall.  In fact I had a lino print that I used in a book cover, that is still to be finished.  But I know I used one of her lino blocks to print this, I didn't make my own.

I now have trouble with arthritis so I'm not looking forward to doing lino cuts but I have kept some of my blocks from back then.

Her work has moved on since then so I better make another block, or at least try.

It might be interesting to revisit the old ones, maybe with new ideas for inking them?

The old ones are far more detailed and a better product but there is a place for the quick fix.
