hand stamped tiled woodcuts

November 24, 1997 By Mike Lyon

Over Thanksgiving we flew to Port Townsend, WA for a family get-together with my sister-in-law, Barbara Stanny.  I took along a tiny watercolor set and a couple of stamps I’d carved — a quarter circle and a half-circle.  I entertained myself on the plane ride by printing some tilings (one sqare at at time) on newsprint.  While in Port Townsend, I printed up some watercolor sheets with similar tilings.  It was very fun!  Here are a few of the prints I made that long weekend…
