Milkweed: First Block and Proof




Here is the first block of what [I think] will be a 3-block print. It will actually be the second block in the order of printing, but I carved it first because it has the most information. I pulled a proof and then printed to Yupo to transfer to the other blocks. This is one of my largest blocks to date, at 12" x 16". Other than more time spent carving and inking, I think the biggest adjustment will be in handling the larger paper when placing it on the block to print.
