Another of J. Edgar Hoover. Half way through the engraving—this is the drawing transfered to the block. I keep going back to J.E. The ultimate scoundrel—cop and creep. I think that is why I need to get him right. Think I'll try and get some blocks of lemonwood. Apparently that is the most common wood used now. Easier than box, but better than maple.

Actually Chris. I am going to be very interested to follow you along. at yourSABBATICAL.com we work with businesses to provide sabbatical programs for their employees - not as a benefit but to get roi on the investment. Can write a bit about how you got the sabbatical opportunity and how you decided what to do? Barbara
Sure. As an academic, I have had the privilege of being awarded a sabbatical based on a proposal I submitted to a sabbaticals committee. I was also lucky in private business to have a very open minded boss who let me have an unpaid sabbatical when I worked in publishing. It was totally rejuvenating. My work was simply a project I had thought up while working on teaching myself relief engraving. I expanded it to a full blown project where I plan on boxed sets of prints, and written narratives about each person. Hopefully better written that the little stream of conciousness ramblings which my blog records. I am really interested in the blog capturing work, and pegging dates with thoughts and work.
