hannah skoonberg



My googling focus right now is crocheting and lino print tutorials. (and - totally besides the point - as I always want to know more about the author of the book I currently read - I am amazed to find out that Harper Lee and Truman Capote were close childhood friends) I found Sangha by Hannah Skoonberg while searching 'lino print'. Isn't it amazing? I carved a potatoe yesterday and managed something that with a lover's eye maybe would bear a tiny recemblance to the leaf that I used as a model.

    Hey Jane! You need not kill me. I think I can promise that I will eat my shoes if a print by me ever looked a third as good as this one. And yes, I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird. What a fantastic and absorbing novel.

    I have always wanted to learn crochet but just cannot find the motivation.
    Love the black and white forest print.

    Totally dig the Moleskin notebooks! I have a small collection of Moleskins.

    Potatoe, did I read this correct?! I have carved potatoes several times, but I've found that they're really "good" only for one go ... I'm often toying with the idea of investing in a lino block! Did you find anything interesting under "crocheting"? I'd love to hear!
    PS Thank you for your nice comment.

    amazing. i'm the kind who'd carve a potato as well and never get anywhere near that fabulous lino print of a birch wood. :)

    i'm sure though your print looks much nicer than you make out - won't you post it?!

    indeed, how fabulous is it that harper lee and capote were childhood friends. I had forgoten all about that. I read mockinbird years for english class when I was quite young and it really made an impact (was also in love with gregory peck as a kid, so watched the film adaptation too)

    out of curiosity, did you also fry and eat that potato leaf up? ;)
