The woods and trails have been full of these white fawn lilies for the last few weeks. They are passing out of season right now, but in the cooler, shadier spots they are still in bloom. I made an attempt at this lily print last week, but decided to try again this week using two print blocks, one for the negative space, and one for the line work.

The first round of prints are experimental, as usual. I like this flower enough that I might try to do another set of blocks. There are still a few things I’d like to improve.

This is my favorite. I only used one of the blocks. Starting with a brown kraft-colored paper, I rolled white ink over the paper with the brayer, then printed the negative space block in yellow. I decided to forego the second layer of printing, and just let this one be.
