Today I added two more impressions on the Ten Little Nine Little print. These shapes are based on photographs of hepatitis virus particles. I found one photo in particular where the particles seemed to be dyed or colored red and green, so I went with that - a nod to the Christmas season.
Here are the two blocks before I printed:
Just in case you're interested in any of the materials I'm immersing myself in as I work on this series about 17th century New England native Americans, here are a few sources:
- The Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center - A tribally owned-and-operated museum complex located in southeastern Connecticut. Lots to explore on the web site as well.
- Indigenous Politics: From Native New England and Beyond - radio show and archived podcasts since 2007
- Indians and English: Facing Off in Early America, a book by Karen Ordahl Kupperman
- As the Wetu Turns - blog of Plimoth Plantation's Wampanoag Indigenous Program
I've been making good progress on this print, which makes me happy. Tomorrow may slow me down a little, as I'm going to the dentist for a root canal. I don't like the sound of that one bit...

"red and green...nod to christmas" I'm cracking up! This print is looking so great though! I love all the different colors and textures that mesh together in your layers of color and wood grain. Good luck on that root canal. Ouch!
Hi Lana. Thanks for reading so closely that you got my little Christmas joke. Hope you have good holidays.
