<span style="font-size: large;">With a baren. I miscalculated the thickness of the block and it doesn't fit on the press (who knew?).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So I made a couple test prints and a couple that might do for the card. I may do some more tomorrow, but this was all I could manage today.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Playing with the motifs of castle, knight and tree. I like a smaller castle in the distance, knight in the middle ground, but larger, and tree even larger in front.</span>Ellen Shipleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07806407695486557068noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14777219.post-84818799383875281642019-09-27T13:26:00.002-07:002019-09-27T13:26:22.473-07:00Cartoon<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Portrait I think, instead of landscape this time. I'll probably add some more stars to the sky.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I may make this one portrait instead of landscape. Change the knight up a bit. I like the front facing horse, but it's too like the image I took it from. </span><br />
