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.

Also, new in the freezer... I made it with Lamb merguez and it's super tasty.
