The Russian word Life was
printed on many of the
postcards that I mailed.

I really like working with
lithographs and silkscreens,
however with this project,
I didn't have a lot of space
or time for those processes.
With linoleum and wood,
I can take the little blocks
everywhere, cut anywhere,
and print anytime.

| My handwriting and some cuts |
I began the text
by writing the
mirror images of
mirror images of
Russian and German words
on the linoleum block.

| The final plate with red Charbonnel ink |
I removed all of the background,
leaving only the lettering.
