“If you want a place in the sun, you’ve got to put up with a few blisters.”

Clematis – Linoleum Block Print & Watercolor
I really do love
block printing, but it hurts my hands too much, carving the linoleum. I had to give it up. Here are the steps… Drawing, carving, printing and watercolor. Kinda fun, eh?
Tomorrow, I’ll show you the oil pastel version of this flower.
About Abigail Van Buren
Pauline Phillips, better known as Abigail Van Buren, wrote the syndicated “Dear Abby” column for 46 years. She was born in 1918 in Iowa. She had never written professionally when she contacted the
San Francisco Chronicle‘s editor and said she could do better than their current advice maven. Her version was an instant success. Her twin sister, Esther Lederer, became an advice columnist under the name
Ann Landers. Phillips retired in 2002; her daughter, Jeanne Phillips, took over her column.
