29 Faces in September--#1 & #2

Ha ha!  I'm cheating, and starting early.  But that's because the last time I did this, I only got 15 done in September.  I did finish them, in December, but this time around, I have high hopes of doing them all in September, as long as I start NOW.  It's only two days early.

But my goal is 29 linocut faces.  I really need to learn how to do linocut, because I have two projects that I'm just dying to do, and I don't have the skills to do them.  I actually have no clue about them at all.  Making linocuts is the only way to learn how to do them--and making lots.  29 Faces in September will be a good was to do that.  There's a link to that on the right, below all my tabs, if you want to check it out.

Each of these blocks is 4 X 6 inches.  I think I'll do the rest with 3 X 5 blocks.

    Those are awesome...they are wild and funky! I would not have the slightest clue how to do a linocut.

    These are great! So expressive.

    Your challenge to yourself is inspiring. This is a good time for me to do something similar. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I guess I missed one and two yesterday! These are terrific. Your linocuts are unique. and fascinating for us who know nothing about making them. I love the expressions you get on the faces. Takes real talent, I bet. thanks for visiting my #3 (early entry). I fly fish some so I enjoy doing water scene sketches.
