Wednesday night I began to carve a block showing an iris from my garden. Last year the plants were purchased from the Gurler House Plant Sale around Mother's Day. Everything I purchased there last year is growing so abundantly this year!
I have gigantic purple iris, medium purple iris, smaller yellow iris, and mini dark purple iris. In front of that is a little stone path with a purple and green sedum, blue speedwell and pink dianthus. Off to the side are crimson mums.
I used differently sized u-gouges to make a pattern of circles that will create a nice gradient using progressively smaller circles.
This Sunday starts my moku hanga class in Chicago! Eeek! I am so excited and scared at the same time. I'll let you know how it goes.

Lovely iris. I like the sepia tone.
Thanks! I'll be printing it in deep violet with a light yellow gradient. (Hopefully) ;-)
