Action in the Riffles Woodcut print designed, carved, and printed by Melinda Byrd a perfect gift for a fisherman, kayaker, or nature lover.

Description

This is one of my first woodcuts, and you may recognize what a challenging carving this was due to the circular cuts which tend to splinter if you are not careful. I was very careful. Riffles are the bubbly part of the stream or river where the rocks help churn the fresh oxygen into the water which is much appreciated by the critters...read on:

“Action in the Riffles”
From looking at the surface of a river or stream, you would never guess the action that is taking place in the riffles [the bubbly waters that flow rapidly over the rocks]. Riffles are where you find the trout enjoying the oxygenated waters bringing dizzy insects downstream. It’s an exciting image to play with: fish, rocks, swirls, emerging insects, and current—and a very challenging piece of wood to carve. Enjoy

This is a woodcut print of the highest quality to be framed for generations to enjoy. If you are more of a practical person, I also print on cotton shirts by hand ($25) and have silkscreened shirts with this image for $20. Oh go for it!
