Each year I make a commemorative art print for both runners and volunteers. Tonight I completed printing an edition of 120 relief prints. I get giddy thinking about giving them to participants as a way of connecting my love of art to my love of the woods and trail running. The prints are a "thank you" to the runners and volunteers who help make the event possible.
The relief printmaking process is a series of connections. By nature of its multiplicity, images in an edition are intended to be shared. The process of printing relies on connecting ideas and tools to materials:
Inspired by a friend's drawing video, I decided to show some of my printing process. Link to a Sunny Spot and enjoy more interpretations on the Drawing Challenge theme of connections.

Interesting how you have connected through making the prints and by recording the printing process. I've watched the video at least 4 times on Facebook and again here. Quite addictive really!
It's fantastic that you showed your printing process. Love your burnisher. Robert made me one on his lathe out of a large piece of brass. I have to get back to linocuts. Now to find the time. Hope your weekend is lovely.
