Postcards to Voters

My lino block is almost worn out. After I finish this round of postcards to send to Georgia for Senator Warnock I will carve another lino block, or maybe two, for the next elections. I'm using Postcards to Voters to get the addresses. 

I used up all my scrap paper and miscellaneous experiments and went to Wet Paint to get expert advice on paper. Jackson suggested Stonehenge because it is uncoated cotton paper. It comes in some colors and I bought grey, craft brown, white, and beige-green in 22x30" sheets, 25 postcards per sheet. 

I had a fun time experimenting with background texture painting the large sheets. It makes the postcards more interesting to look at. Even though I know the postcards are likely to be just glanced at and tossed aside, maybe they'll be sort of eye-catching and curiosity-inducing to read the back side. I could purchase postcards however making the postcards gives me practice with inking, trying out a new ink (Speedball Professional Relief Ink), and practicing backgrounds. 

I should have been photoing the large sheets before I chopped them up. The road to hell is paved with those should haves........
