The next word on my to-do list was Creative Cue Number 23, road. For this, I made a version of our favorite hairpin turn, on Rte. 2 out in North Adams. This is one of my favorites.
Next up was bulb, Creative Cue Number 24.
When I did this one on fabric, I had it on top of a paper towel, and the texture of the towel came through, creating an interesting effect.
When I started work on Creative Cue Number 25, egg, I ran into more difficulties. I really didn't like the finished product. Not wanting to waste the block, I flipped it over, and carved the negative of the image I had already carved. It was much nicer this way, and I learned that I can get two stamps on one block, if I'm careful. Here is the one I like.
And finally, this weeks word, Creative Cue Number 27, nail I was thinking about the roofing nails that I've been finding in our yard. I made this one so that it can be tiled, if I'm very careful about placement. I put some lines around the edge to help with this, but I will still have to curb my tendency to daydream when using this this way.

Oh my gosh, you have been busy. These all turned out great Karen. I'm so jealous that you are caught up. Oh by the way, I just posted the new word, so now you aren't either....LOL!
Wow. You've done a lot of beautiful work today!
What fun! I love the egg stamp :o)
These are great!!!
I hope Ginny is doing well.
Nice job, Karen! I love to see the block prints. You are ammassing quite a collection! Your nail looks like the nail I imagine Martin Luther nailing the 95 Theses to door of the Cathedral in Wittenburg. Goes right along with Speak for Protests. ;-)
