Bear Linoleum Block

I love everything about carving linoleum blocks.

This is the first of a new series I'm doing with linoleum blocks based on the fairytale Goldilocks and the Three Bears by Robert Southey.  It's unfinished, and I tried printing it last night but my Papa Bear is cut too deep, so I'm going to have shave down the diamond wallpaper surrounding it to get it to show up.

Interestingly, in the original story, the trespasser of chairs, porridge, and beds is not a little girl, but an old lady...  I haven't decided yet if my linoleum Goldi will be an octogenarian or if I'll stick with the younger and more popular version.
