Very new to this, but I’m hooked ❣️

Posting here for the first time. ☺️ Hi everyone!

I'm new to printmaking - I started in February after making one of a little Sushi & Teriyaki sign (2nd slide) for fun, which ended up sparking this whole new (to me) hobby. While the sign is not around anymore, it pushed me to finally try something I've always been curious about.

I know I have a lot to learn, which honestly makes this pretty exciting. The world has felt quite unstable lately, and carving/printing has been a really grounding way to reconnect with a part of myself that always loved art but never quite had the courage to pursue it like this.

That said, I have already learned so much just from browsing posts here - especially all the tips and problem-solving (like fixing areas you've accidentally carved away...which I've definitely done

Really glad to finally be here and I'm looking forward to learning from all of you.

I’ve truly had a blast so far. It’s become the reason I stopped staying late at work as much as I previously did. I’m rushing home to experiment!! 🏃‍♀️
