Woodblock Wednesday - small Waders is done

During the week I wondered whether to carry on with the Waders - a larger block is traced out and ready for cutting -
I learned a bit about making the reflections look watery, and would like to try with larger birds - this is a detail of the screenshot of the inspirational photo -
Putting that decision aside till the small prints were done, here's the two layer print, not very promising -
 Various rubbings as the block was cut back ever more -
The printing task for the morning - half a dozen postcards and half a dozen prints -
 Oh my what a difference that final layer made!
Two prints, showing variability
 ... as you can see from a "before" (below) and an "after" (top) -
 Results -

Finito!

The worst and the best - spot the difference -
