Woodblock Wednesday - printing postcards

Decided to print the "which way is up" block for the Morley College printmaking department postcard swap -
Here's two I prepared earlier
This is the first block, printed, for practice, on the six cards to the right and then on the four larger cards, which will soon(?) go into the post. Registration for both sets was rather ad hoc, the smaller cards using a floating kento on top of the block to register the card in the middle of the print area, and for the larger cards (the same size as the block), aligning the corner of the board.
Somehow (brain not engaged!) one of the smaller cards was printed onto the wrong side: there's a nice little box for the stamp, and the wording "the address is to be written on this side". Instead of space for the address, there's a red mountain. Conceptual, or what?!

These two have been received ...

And this design, "Elipticlipticality", is under the knife. It was inspired by the recent partial eclipse of the moon.

One side is pretty much done ...

... the other still needs work
