M is for Masterpiece: J

          J is for Japanese print

This letter is about wood block printing. Like I was going to let my crew near a bunch of carving tools! I don't think so!

The next best thing: foam boards.

Unfortunately, we used finger paints to do this today....

getting messy!

I am going to have to get some different supplies: real paint, rollers, etc and see if we can do this again.
Might be fun to make some homemade cards for people.
