Here's LAYER 2 of our woodcut! The subject is probably easier to figure out? Hope you all are having a great day! #woodcut #printmaking #chickens #handmade #art #mastoArt #kentucky

I feel like i've been validated!!! still in shock that something I MADE is in the Cincinnati Art Museum's print collection! I just got back from the opening reception for the SOS ART Human Rights Portfolio. It's been a true honor---I wish I had taken photos of the event, but it's a memory i'll never forget! Ok! Time to stop showing off and resting on my laurels--it's time to roll my sleeves up and get back to work! There are more prints to make!!!

We are getting our first snow of the season and I'm printing layer 3 of my tiny little birdie woodcut. Hope you all are having a great day!!! #printmaking #woodcut #art #birds #handmade #analog #kentucky #mastoArt #arte

Good morning! I'm continuing to practice carving small blocks in woodcut, and started something new today #printmaking #woodcut #birds #robin #handmade #art #kentucky #mastoArt

Good evening rockin' robins!!!! Here's our finished Robin woodcut!!! Robins Image 3.7"x7" on 7x10" cotton paper The small size of this one really pushed my woodcarving skills. I learned a lot and the design came out better than I expected it too. I *just* listed it on my website for you print collectors who might like a closer look. Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement! #printmaking #birds #robin #art #analog #handmade #woodcut #kentucky #mastoArt

Good morning little birdies!!! Here's LAYER 4 of our Robin woodcut! At this stage, we have a good idea of how the print will turn out. Just one more layer to go: BLACK!!! Have a great day, and see you tomorrow! #printmaking #birds #robin #woodcut #art #handmade #kentucky

We are at LAYER 3(right) of our ROBINS woodcut! It's in a bit of the 'ugly duckling stage' this orange is just for the beak and breast--the colors should make sense when we print layer 4 tomorrow. #printmaking #woodcut #birds #robin #art #mastoArt #handmade #workInProgress #kentucky #arte #grabado

Happy #woodcutWednesday to those who celebrate!!! Here's LAYER 2 of our little itty bitty (3x7") robin woodcut. I'm so glad those tiny stars didn't pop off while going through the press! I held my breath each time it went through. Stay tuned for LAYER 3 tomorrow!. #printmaking #woodcut #birds #robins #workInProgress #art #kentucky #mastoArt

The next subject for our #birds of #Kentucky series is going to be: ROBIN. I want to challenge myself and work on my craftsmanship as a wood carver, so this piece is extremely small compared to my other woodcuts-7"x3.5" ---and it has a fair amount of details for such a small print. After printing layer 1 (above) I carved the block to reveal what will be layer 2, and I hope to print it tomorrow after today's ink dries. Stay tuned- #printmaking #woodcut #birds #robin #workInProgress #mastoArt
