Woodblock Wednesday

"Ikat" was the idea for a new block - perhaps to be used in conjunction with others and with stencils.

How could an effect from dyeing and weaving textiles be translated into a print made from the wood?

A few false starts...

 A better idea, which led to carving -

 Trying to be random -

 Printing on non-japanese paper (I'd already scribbled on it - a spasm of asemic writing) -

 But the main event was a series of pages for a book, shifting from one colour to another -

 Some were overprinted (by mistake!) and others turned round on themselves -

 Some had flat surfaces and in others the grain of the wood showed through -
