It's a RIPE subject that American society has largely neglected. I am excited for your project but am surprised to see a piece of Shina with those knots. I sometimes use scrap wood for my prints (hey, free is free) and I am used to those voids and knots but to have pricier Shina show up with them is disconcerting. The block in the title section of my blog is actually scrap and there was a void right over the Kirin's face. Go figure.<br />I've been trying to work also with a Native American theme too but have had some trouble. In Virginia the Potomac and James river are of recent interest to me but finding out more about Powatan indian culture leaves a lot to be desired. Seems most of it was annihilated when the Europeans arrived.

But I thought I'd ask anyway, see if you have some hanga secrets. <br /><br />I need to stop being a chicken and give Japanese style woodblock a go. I am just too worried about messing it up. I guess worst case scenario I just whip out the oil inks and use the exact... same... blocks... I have no excuse. lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439861326467305955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-18909718073688760162011-02-17T23:03:22.463-05:002011-02-17T23:03:22.463-05:00Hi Hannah.

Reduction moku hanga is different than western style reduction because the pigments are transparent so you can't just cover up a color you've laid down. You have to think about the colors mixing. That's why I also use stencils too. It's kind of complicate I guess but I find any kind of reduction complicated!Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-38997594216729271472011-02-17T22:46:50.129-05:002011-02-17T22:46:50.129-05:00It is interesting that you say you plan on doing t...It is interesting that you say you plan on doing this print as a reduction. I know that moku hanga is traditionally a multi block process. Does reduction Moku Hanga change or complicate things? or is it just like western style reduction?<br /><br />I think you are right about connecting the rivers to the native Americans. Where I live in Georgia sometimes the only reminder is that we still have the indian names for the rivers. Like the Chattahoochee my local river.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439861326467305955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-39385842493076196392011-02-17T20:24:30.466-05:002011-02-17T20:24:30.466-05:00@Ellen, wood putty is a good idea.

Maybe there's some kind of atlas of rivers for canoeists? I draw a lot of maps in my life as an illustrator, so one of my favorite games is to get a window seat when I fly and try to identify the rivers.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-32020686476114187952011-02-17T20:07:12.011-05:002011-02-17T20:07:12.011-05:00love this project!
