Woodblock Wednesday - have all the blocks been cut yet?

Didn't make it to class last week, thanks to illness, and this week was half term. So I've rather lost the plot with the woodblocks.

The previous weeks had been devoted to finishing the cutting. Then, testing registration with more rubbings. For speed I use the side of a fat graphite stick, and I love seeing the way the layers add up, in shades of grey -
Inside of most pots left white

Inside of all pots coloured
 The blocks on hand -


And on the back of the board with those three, another three -
The third one is at top right, and uses only the area at the top of the design -
Squeezing all the blocks onto one board is half the fun!
