The path of the blade

Before I do a bit more back-tracking this is to show that your correspondent is not just pursuing a summer life of ease.
I started a few weeks ago noodling around and particularly experimenting with a new and beautiful cutter:

 

I was always fascinated with the fact that Albrecht Durer was the first artist I ever notice to have his own logo, so hubris demanded:

Just the first version!!!

I had several plans regarding a multiple block print and here is some design-work:

 

A possible colour plan - about six blocks

 

 

Transfer

 

 

 

 

 

 

Key-block - this was painted with a light w/c to make seeing cuts a little easier

 

 

Kento reg marks - this is very experimental having never tried anything like this before.

 

Here I decide to stop till I returned from holidays but I continued to experiment trying cuts on a piece of plywood on the basis of something I had read:

 

The cut

 

 

The print

 

 I really liked the texture of the wood surface so I decided to try a small multi-block which would also act as a test-run :

 

This design is for another possible project but I chose to use one of the panels:

 

key-block under way

 

 

 

 

  outline transfers -thick lines are safer when are the pressing is being done by hand

 

 

Potential colour - plan

 

 

Colour-blocks cut - cutting plywood is different  in that one has to consider the direction of the gain in the next level ; anyway I am not sure if I will get the colours in before I go away but you will be informed.

 

 

Just in passing I continue to draw :

 

 

Was also out plein-air painting but more of that later.
