We are looking forward to the SOUTHWEST PRINT FIESTA this October 10th - 13th in Silver City.
The ultimate would be to make big EXQUISITE TESSELLATION prints with a STEAMROLLER. We can order large 36 x 36 inch sheets of linoleum from Dick Blick.
Then we can laser cut them down into -- 21 inch wide by 15 inch high "hat" shapes (the width/height dimensions I figured out with the "THE HAT" calculator). Four of those would fit inside a 40 x 40 inch sheet of large paper.
Four big "hat" shapes would look like this when put together:
The design of four "hat" linoleum tiles
in a square shape
The basic idea would be to get a big "hat" linoleum carved in Tucson, one carved in El Paso, and another carved in Albuquerque to make a big steamroller print from the Southwest -- echoing the DESERT TRIANGLE PRINT CARPETA project that started 10 years earlier.
