Postcards, knitting class teaser and mosaic table teaser!

Postcards!

 I finally got around to the next run of post cards. I recarved a block I'd already carved to fit the size constraint, and also for practice. I did a better job on the circles, but had a couple of spots where I carved too far (and one spot that I took out a chunk by mistake) but I touched up all of the mistakes... I printed these in a hurry before I left for Ashland and sent them just after I got back. The cards printed easily and were dry after 4 days. Here they are all together. Now they're all in the mail!

The motif is from a 6000 year old pot found in West Central Persia that is currently in the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. 

Postcard inspiration

I don't know what they represent; I just liked their energy and rhythm. Plus it's from the Chalcolithic period (copper age) and I had to go look the word up, which was kind of cool. I take a lot of inspirational photos when I travel, and set myself a goal to use one of them this year.

What about Ashland? I was there for a knitting class. The class sample was a baby sweater; I'm almost done with it, and will talk about the trip when I blog about the sweater. 

I also finished the tiling on the mosaic table top, should be able to clean it up tomorrow and grout later this week. I'm super excited about this.
