This is the sixth in a series for a single sheet handmade book called In My Yard. This book will be submitted to the exhibition Ritual taking place in December in Philadelphia.
I love the bees that the flowers in my garden attract. In addition to helping pollination, they keep the riffraff away.
I love woodcuts and I make woodcuts. On this blog I write about woodcuts I love and woodcuts I make.

"Tigerfly"
Tigerfly
woodcut 5" x 27" (image) 10.5" x 31.5" (paper)
Water-based inks on Rives BFK
Available for purchase here.
I finally finished this print for my youngest daughter, Eulabee. The poor girl is going to have "bee" themed stuff probably her whole lifetime, so I hope she likes them. At least the bees aren't central here; they and the fireflies share second fiddle with the Tigerfly, a fantastic creature from my imagination. Coming up with the idea and drawing this was a lot of fun. My favorite aspect of this image is that I can't decide if the Tigerfly is tiny or if the other insects are huge.
