Each print has been hand carved and will be hand printed on request. They are printed on quality Arches or Reeves printmaking paper using water-based black block printing ink. Backgrounds are done in watercolor and quotes are in ink. Prints will be mailed un-framed in a protective plastic sleeve.

You can mix and match, choosing which image you like best, and then what quote you would like. Feel free to request a favorite service quote of your own, or choose from the list below:
"For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land." - Deuteronomy 15:11
"What I can do, you cannot. What you can do, I cannot. But together we can do something beautiful for God." - Mother Teresa
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." - Mahatma Gandhi
"...everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love. And you can be that servant." - Martin Luther King Jr. *This quote is too long to fit comfortably on a print, so a variation will be used*
"Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. And you can be that servant."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop." -Mother Teresa
"As we look heavenward, we inevitably learn of our responsibility to reach outward. To find real happiness, we must seek for it in a focus outside ourselves." - President Thomas S. Monson
Here is a quick look at the
printmaking process for a relief print!
 |
| The first step is to figure out what your image is, and then draw it out on a piece of paper. |
 |
| After the print is drawn up, the image is transferred to a block (wood, linoleum, lino, etc.). I then usually go over the transferred image in sharpie to clarify where I will cut away, and what will stay. I then begin carving. |
 |
| After the image is carved out, the block is then inked up like a big stamp using a brayer to roll on the water-based or oil-based printmaker's ink. After that, you are ready to transfer your image to a clean sheet of printmaking paper. For this you can use a press. Printmaking presses can be high-tech and big like a newspaper press, or simple and small like a barren or a good wooden spoon. |
