Wow, Viza, you're really going strong with this white line technique. Great work. You're giving me lots of ideas!

Holy Cow! A feast for my eyes! Great job, Viza! How big is the edition? I really love the colors too. So rich! I like how they sparkle by being broken up like that.

thanks! one of the things i like about this form of printmaking is that i can move onto the next image fairly quickly. as far as editioning goes i haven't really decided how to go about it since the single block is "painted" each print will be unique. i just don't know. i am open to suggestions.

These are looking great. Love the AGAVE for its mellow greens and lovely palette; the skull really jumps with the balance of the black-printed eyes and mouth and the rainbow prism colors. I too am curious if you have printed just one of each and will print them as needed/the mood suits you or if you've printed up a bunch already.

i usually just print one and a ghost. i sometimes paint or draw on the ghost print or i write notes on it about what to change or colors the i used etc... I will go back and print more as needed/or if i'm in the mood.
