I pulled ten prints, and it took about two hours. Each print took a great deal of inking time because my large brayer is ruined, so I was forced to use my 1.5" wide brayer on this 9x12" block. Rollin', rollin', rollin'.
I wasn't able to mix the color I wanted because the Speedball blue (the only blue they make) has too much green in it. When mixed with white, it takes on more of a teal hue. It does look blue in the photos above, but in reality it's more greenish. I intend to upgrade my ink to a much finer printer's ink ASAP. The set I want comes with 16 colors, and let's just say that it will take awhile to pay for itself.
I'm going to pull another ten prints in a completely different color scheme so that I can increase the likelihood of having a piece that's pleasing. I have no idea what color. I also have no idea what I will carve out for the next unknown color. Mysterious adventure...
