The clothespin people are almost ready for their adventure. This is something of a departure for me, no textiles. The shortie in the tall-and-short pair right of center needs some definition, and IRL (as opposed to the onscreen scan) this needs a unifying something -- which may be why Tsukineko has given us Walnut Ink. Then it's drying time again, they're gonna leave me . . . But then they'll be back. With some buddies.
In the meantime, tomorrow (Thursday 7/31) I'm taking a class in gelatin-plate printing at the Country Quilter in Somers, then off to Vermont with my drawn-on-looseleaf sketch, a carload of supplies, and much free-floating anxiety. Heigh-ho.

This looks interesting! Strange that you have been doing your "clothespin people" while I have been drawing similar figures in my work.
Of course, in my case, it's cos I can't draw very realistic figures!
Your 'clothes-pin people' look like something out of Star Trek (which I love) and you are a lucky bizzum for goin' off to Vermont sketching. Wish I was with you!
Looks great! Love the texture and color. My parents had an Estonian woodcut print with a similar feeling to this that I loved and begged to have my room when I was a teenager.
