Did some test prints of woodblocks 3 & 5 to be sure they would turn out as I hoped. I am still not very confident with my inking and printing abilities though. There is too many variables to get right; Is there enough ink on the block? Is this paper going to transfer to image well? I hope I carved this well enough? Urgh.

All good. Stop worrying stupid.

I tried this out on transfer paper. It was great being able to see how well the ink transferred to the paper before taking the paper off the block but it has a glossy, plastic film over the top. So it took over a day to dry. There was a reason for using this paper though. More later.
