libraries and linocuts (and the plague)




We have all been dreadfully ill the past couple weeks and are just now returning to the land of the living. We all ended up on antibiotics for one reason or another. It stunk. It was like groundhog day. Each morning we would wake up expecting to feel better and then--NOT. But, thanks to the wonders of modern medicine, we seem to have survived.

To pass the time, Aurora and I did some linocuts together. She is a gifted abstract artist. I think she just loves the feeling of the lino-rubber as it cuts. It is quite satisfying. We tried layering some images too, batik style, and that was kinda fun.

We also went to the Bee Cave library and Aurora got her own library card. What a milestone. We checked out "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble" and some other winners. They also had, on DVD, The Gnome Mobile!!!!! I was so excited.
