The ultimate me time for me is working on art. And after a very difficult day yesterday where I got my first taste of baby blues I was able to have some of that much needed time today.
Blee went down for a nap around 10:30 and she is still sleeping. I used about an hour and a half of that time to work on carving this block that I hadn't been able to work on since August 21st and I think I made some significant progress. My goal was to get half of the negative space cleared out and I got a little more than that done. I haven't yet showered but who needs to shower when all you want to do is make art?
I realize that If I can get an hour or two in the next days I could actually get this block finished by the time my inlaws come at the end of next week and before the JP Open Studios. Having them around makes it much more likely that I will be able to take a couple of hours in my studio to print. And having new work for the Open Studios would be fantastic!
Now I will go shower. Oh wait, blee rises! Maybe later!

Wow with a baby so new I'm shocked you had the energy. The block looks super cool. Hope you find more moments for your art.
wow, marissa that block is wonderful, is it huge? it looks huge!!
I am amazed by your wonderful energy...the best thing for a day after the blues.
It is a decent size of 16"x20" but I have worked much larger before. But I wanted something I could finish this year!
Thanks!
I can't wait to see this one! I'm glad you got some time to work on it! Making art is my ultimate me time too!
Very wonderful work and with a baby too! Amazing.
