Printing Xmas Block



I like the reddish brown color. I've been playing around with tapping on accent color, but I don't like how it's coming out. This may be a one-color block afterall.
I practically recarved the whole block. I have a tendency to "draw" too lightly on the board. Someday I'm going to design a block that calls for bold images. ;- j

Almost Ready to Print


Faux image -- mirror scan of the block, colorized in PaintShop. About to print and see what needs recarving. ;- j

Poking Along on the Block




Lost the weekend to holiday doings, but I'm back to work on the xmas card block today. Carve, carve, carve.

Christmas Block


Wassail!
Block in progress -- mirror image scan. This'll be the Schuyler House Christmas card. I put the castle on one of the mugs. And I put a sleeping cat on the hearth for the absent Kitty (who worked for Schuyler House).
