Two from Goodwill.

 I found a limited edition print by Grace Bentley-Scheck.  The technique she used is called collagraph, a print made by adhering textured materials to a plate (rigid surface), and when inked and pressed creates a print with different textures and surface levels. 

Another Angle, by G. Bentley-Scheck, 7/74.  It is print 8/100.  The lower the number the closer to the artist's vision, so 8 out of 100 is a good spot.  The artist died last September, not noted in the link information.  $2.24

After reading about collagraphs and that the artist used that technique a lot, I felt (oh, don't worry, I was gentle and it's sealed in a gallery plastic wrapping on cardboard!) it and so much of it is raised. 

If the price is right I like to pick up signed and numbered prints in case they are "by someone" worth selling. This is, but for now I'll enjoy it.  

I also picked up this 1940s cross-stitch in frame made in the 30s or 40s at Goodwill for $2.24. 

These were popular as kits in the 60s and 70s, however fabric and uneven stitches, plus the condition of the paper on the back, dates the framing to the 40s.
