Bambino tiny baby rat wood engraving by Maria Arango

Description

Bambino Wood Engraving
Block is maple
Ink is graphite oil based
4"x6" image slightly larger paper
Limited edition of 100

I made this for a friend that had a baby a while back. I'm sure the baby has grown as has the rat. This 2008 is the year of the rat in Chinese Lunar New Year so I thought I would offer the remainder of the edition.

The ink was graphite, which makes the wood engraving look like a pencil drawing, quite delicate.

Process: Woodcuts are made by drawing an image on a block of wood, usually cherry in my case, then carving out the negative spaces. After carving, what is left is a big "stamp" of the desired image. I roll ink with a roller over the woodcut, place a piece of handmade paper on the inked block, apply pressure and transfer the image on the paper.

All my woodcuts are made in limited editions, signed and numbered in pencil.
