This weekend I …

Saturday and Sunday I spent the wood engraving at Badger Press with Kate Dicker. It was as I planned and expected a joyous occasion with a steep learning curve. This is not always a comfortable twosome, as I am inclined to get the giggles when the teacher becomes intense and profound and to be obeyed. For me rules and rigidness are, as I said earlier not always ‘comfortable.’ Then, when I do become stretched, the fun I enjoyed earlier has befriended me and I become bogged down with, right and wrong, questions and comparisons. So the test comes when I see my end result after, the sketches, proofs, prayers, curses, cups of tea, pouts and groans and I smile.
