Saw this in the Newspaper the other day, thought it was funny, and had to share.

Pomegranates
I love Pomegranates.
Little bright red jewels filled with explosive forever staining sweet juice.
I feel like I’m at a point in my life where things are semi-simple.
Which in retrospect is odd given all the crap that’s come up, but still.
So why the sudden exclamatory love of fruit?
Well as you know, I’ve been working on block prints lately and when examining my source of inspiration
I’ve discovered I tend to focus on all the ordinary beautiful things in life that I’ve come to enjoy.
Like Magnolias, Bettas and Pomegranates which I’m currently working on.
So until I get that finished, I leave you with “Dream Caused by the flight of a bee” by Salvador Dali
Cheers,

Making Prints
Originally, I had planned to work on these prints yesterday; however, I ended up not having time.
Since I plan and play around with colors ’til I find what I like, I only did a limited run of prints, only 5 of each.
Each print is done on nice, thick, off-white watercolor paper, and I deckled the edges for a decorative finish.
For now, I have to wait until they’re thoroughly dry.
If I like how they turn out, then I’ll print some more.
You may (if you’re observant) notice that the prints are the tiniest bit different from the ones posted in my block print gallery; that’s because I touched them up a bit to sharpen the images before I printed them.
Well, I suppose I should go find something else to occupy my time while I watch ink dry :).
Cheers,
Amanda
