Reminder to self: Guinness & toffee

We'll steam like dumplings yet, but this summer is being weirdly nice here: I'm wearing a sweatshirt outside this early morning and I'm still chilly.  Yay!

Printmaking class is my favorite thing this summer. Below-- I carved the second panel of "The Moth Burial" last night in class.
Longtime friend KG (white hair) sat across from me.

The young guy ^ next to her is a classical singer and voice teacher, and the class got talking about music. My favorite was when he sang the tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Can you remember them to sing?
I can (close enough).

Page 2 of The Moth Burial  (below) isn't done, but enough to show you. (Oh, the first "u" is backwards!)

I want to print one long strip (for an accordion fold-up), but they'll be out of order because I'm not reverse-thinking the carving process all the way through. I carved page 1 on the left side of the board, so it will print as page 2 (as above).
Maybe I could cut the board in half?

I will carve pages 3/4 before print next week.  A limited edition!  Twelve prints.  I must think of a name for my publishing press.
Girlettes Ink.
Beer Float.

OMG--Linda Sue came up with the most decadent beer float:
Guinness stout with toffee ice cream.
I am going to try this some day!

Time to go to the dentist, then volunteering at the store.
Have a great day, or night!
