Still making prints over here. This is a linoleum block. They’re quite easy to carve; a LOT easier to carve than wood! Also with wood you can pull maybe only 100 prints before the wood swells and shrinks too much. These lino blocks can go a long time if you’re careful.
If you want to start easy with print making, you can actually do it on a styrofoam meat tray from the grocery store with a pencil and some acrylic paint. That’s super basic but a good way to get a feel for the process. I always use printer’s ink because it’s the perfect viscosity for all the details. There are SO many ways to print and I love them ALL!
