Another day...

 

BERJAYA

BERJAYA
A wonderful invention, the derailleur....

Knitting on.....

BERJAYA
Tension sorted, hopefully.....and hopefully I have enough yarn. It weighs the same as the last pair of mitts I knitted......I like it. So I think I will buy more anyway....mitts need a matching hat!!

Drawing, cutting

BERJAYA

BERJAYA
just small blocks...as much a challenge as big ones.
I might make two of this one, one with just the central trio of maize stalks.

On to the next one. I think I will build up a few before inking, to save on washing the roller, block and slab between each one.

I forgot to reverse the image on the block..tracing then lots of rubbing out!! Followed by putting the design on again.
Thinking through what is black/white is a challenge.

Rethinking

 

BERJAYA
Some judicious cutting

BERJAYA

Success...I can live with that, knowing as well that it has been a step to the print that I like!

Printing success

 Starting again from scratch was the best decision for this design.

A decided improvement..now to wait for the half dozen prints to dry....

Then I looked at my study/workroom/fleabay and Etsy despatch department/ library.....

It needs a sortout..again!!

The weather has degenerated again to high winds and rain....looks like it will be tidy study day.. maybe...or there is another print to do.....

Getting brave!

 Gradually pruning the tree! 

I have found that photographing the block then putting a black and white filter on the image has helped.. slowly but surely....you can take off more, but replacing a cut is possible but difficult!!

Marking and cutting... getting there!

Slow progress

 It's not going entirely as I would like... getting your head around reversed images plus positive and negative.....and it isn't turning out as I hold in my head...

But it is getting there slowly.... although it might be a back to square one job and start again.

CAD

No, not Computer....but the Oily One has been busy with Cardboard Aided Design.....

BERJAYA

The kiln services company is too busy,I think....there are a lot of important clay related weekends going on...and the Oily One has a friend who builds turbines and has offcuts of stainless steel....

fingers crossed!!
