The designs were hand drawn on tracing paper until the final designs were decided upon.

Then the designs were transferred to linoleum print blocks and drawn using black ink.

The white areas (or the negative spaces) of the designs were then carved away by hand.

   
Once the block was carved, the block was "inked up" using a cylindrical printmaking brayer rolled over top of the print block using hand mixed oil-based printing ink.

Then, 100% cotton-rag, acid-free printmaking paper was placed on top of the inked print block.

The "inked-print-block-with-paper-on-top" was placed onto the "bed" of the printmaking press, and rolled between the two cylinders of the press, which transfers the ink to the paper.

 

Finally, the paper is removed from the print block and allowed to dry.

Once they are dry, each page is cut by hand to the desired size (i.e. 5"x7" or 8"x10").
