the unprinted woodblock

This is is the upper left corner 

of the woodblock I just completed cutting.

This is NOT the printed block.

This entire block will be photographed by the PictureSalon in Madison, Wisconsin

and be committed to the Giclee printing programs.

I will have prints of this freshly cut, and unprinted block.

Once the ink is rolled onto this block,

it will never, ever look like this again

which is why I get photos of them before I print.

I think these blocks at this stage are beautiful....

BUT the final print is what this block exists for....

it's destiny!

Woodblock of too much detail

Due to my mental/emotional battle with a saddening world.

I seem to have packed this with a world into which I would escape.

Having simply run out of wood to cut, I guess it's time to get it ready to print.
