Scary, but that's why they call it a suicide block! ;- j
And here's the test print:
Ta-daa! What a relief!
The unfortunate thing about a reduction print is that you can't go back and tweak anything, and I'm used to doing that. But I think it works.
I may go back in and carve a bit more to lightened the plank between the side color and the bottom color. I could widen the lines a bit.

Nice to see a photo of you on the blog - you look really nice and I thought your hair looked great too !!
You have been doing some great prints lately LOVE this one too. I so admire you doing a reduction block as I have not tackled that one yet - perhaps at some point but I would need to start with something simple.
What I was wondering was - like with this one were you doing graduated rolls on parts of the print and inking different colors to different parts of the block?

I'm not sure I understand the question, Aine. I inked the whole block with one color each time I printed. Then I carved some more and inked that a different color, three times total.
This is different from what I usually do on a block, which is to ink up different parts with different colors and print once, similar to a white line print.
A reduction block is like a multi-block print, only with one block. Does that make sense?
