Printmaker's block

Well, perhaps not printmaker's block as such, since that carries the implication that I can't think of anything to print.  That isn't the problem.  I have plenty - plenty - of ideas, I sketch many of them out and prep plates, while making notes for others of my ideas so that I don't forget them.  Of course, I'm sure plenty aren't going to work out straight away (if ever), but at least there are lots of them, which is a start.

The problem is that I'm not really carrying anything through.  I might start on some, but the will to complete the process seems to be lacking at the moment.  It struck me when I thought I might update the page for this year's prints, and then realised that none of them are even halfway there, they're all works in progress - and not a lot of that, if I'm honest.  And while in one sense that's always true for a piece of work, in another I usually reach a point where what it is, is what it is.  Whereas these need more work on the plate, or resizing, or colour jigging, or even just knuckling down to an extended session to work out the kinks. 

Meanwhile, here's a little reminder to myself of some of my part-way-there work.  Just for now.  I'm sure I'll rediscover the ability to move things on sometime soon.
