The plywood engraved and painted block after printing
This is the end of the test images. Now I'm going to work on a larger block.

nice bright colours :D the smaller one could almost be a polaroid picture :) Cressida's prints are gorgeous!
I like these little test prints!
Cressida Campbell has some beautiful prints. I'm glad I found out about this process. Thanks!
Wow - look at you go! What an explosion of color, and such a beautiful composition. You and printmaking is a pretty wonderful combination.
Some of us stumble and struggle, not quite knowing what our path should be.
And some of us have that special magnetism that connects us with our path.
Robyn, I'd say you've made your connection!
Brilliant! Both in form and colour. You have the knack. Keep going!
What an interesting process. So great that you have tried something new and accomplished it. Look forward to seeing more of these. Martha
Another beautiful print! If I see any more, I'm also going to start making prints...you are inspiring and invigorating me! Looking forward to the bigger blocks.

These are gorgous...so filled with colors!!! You are really doing a great job on these!!
I love the mix of highly coloured flowers and monochrome floor. Very effective!
your printmaking is going beautifully - this post and the last. So much experimentng it's great!
Jennifer - I ended up with that polaroid margin because I wasn't sure it was ever going to be printed. It's often the way, the one you play with can turn out the best.
Sydney - Thank you.
Casey - I'm quite surprised to find myself printmaking.
Dinah - I must say I am pleased with the way it's going and I love the link to Phillips' Japanese woodcut site, thank you :)
Jennifer - I did get carried away with the colour didn't I. :)
Martha - Glad you find it interesting. There's so much to explore.
Ronell- You probably have room for a press in that lovely big studio of yours. Go for it!
Joan - Thank you, I do have some plans for softer colour combinations.
Anita - Thanks. I agree with your comment (elsewhere) that one of the most attractive aspects of prints is the beauty of the large white margin of paper and the embossing of the plate.
Vivien - I'm loving the experimenting too!
WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WORK, ROBYN! MY GRACIOUS, WHAT A PROCESS!!! BRAVA FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT GOES INTO THIS .. AND YOUR AMAZING RESULTS!
Robyn - keep going - you're doing wonderful things!
Thank you so much for the link to Cressida Campbell - I've not heard of her before bit I am enamoured. I ended up in Brisbane I was so taken with her woodblock prints. If I could see a price I'd have a feeling my plastic would be wanting to invest! Or maybe it's a good thing I can't!
I did get this far however - only to be disappointed
Katherine - Wecome back! It's a long week without Making a Mark :)
You an buy the book from Cressida Campbell's website - HERE but at $120 (Aust) plus p&p it's quite expensive. Beautiful though, I'm sure.
Such great fun to see your latest printmaking products! And seeing the block as well as the print tells me a lot about your process. Keep going, Robyn!
Wow, Robin, these are so amazing—such beautiful effects. I love the checkerboard floor.
I am enjoyng your blog and seeing your process...personally I love the engraved and painted block after printing the best....I like the balance in it...and Dermott scratching is quite nice...but his comments are a hoot...Jil
