Fresh Prints: 25 Easy and Enticing Printing Projects to Make at Home by Christine Leech

A nice collection of beginners projects for block printing, both with easy to use readily available foam and with found objects.  The book begins with an introduction to materials, to inks, rollers, safeprint lino foam, and inking plates.  Then there are three sections, the first on printing with found objects such as leaves and haberdashery, the second on printing using safeprint foam sheets which are inexpensive and readily available.  The third section is on other printing techniques, such as using bleach and templates.  It's a good starter packed with small easily realisable projects that introduce the very beginner to printing.
