With my creative energies building I couldn’t help but try my hand at a woodcut again.

I had purchased a couple of little Japanese wood blocks many moons ago and they have be floating around. So after sanding them back I drew up a image and got cutting.

My tools weren’t the best and not the sharpest but I enjoyed the process.
I love working with wood and will experiment with other pieces.

Anyway, with ten mins spare before the school run I did a trial proof. Just printed by hand without the press and in some paper out of my sketch book.

Here are a couple if progress shots:

I will sit down later and play with the image a little more. And hopefully later in the week will do a better proof.

It’s great to be carving blocks and look forward to getting some interesting results.
