Cedar Path

Cedar Path: Key block complete

I’ve made good progress, and finished key block carving this weekend. I’ve test-printed too!

key lines complete
in the sunshine
all clean!

Here’s the result:

Next: Make transfer sheets and commence with the color blocks!

Almost ready to test it out

I’ve left the grass until the last; it’s kind of complicated with all the overlapping and intersecting lines. It’s just my luck that the gampi didn’t stick as strongly in this corner, so I am having to be very careful about dragging the knife.

Still, I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! Only a few more hours, then I can clear the large waste and try it out.

Cedar Path progress

Carving is progressing! Somewhat slowly though, since the lines are so fine.

Peel

My apologies; they will probably show you an add. I am sorry about that; it’s not my doing.
