Exactly six days ago, in the previous post here on the RoundTable, I showed a photo of my 'office', with a woodblock sitting on the desk where I had just pasted down the first of the tracings (hanshita) for the upcoming first pair of prints in the new Mystique series. Since then, I have been completely silent.
Silent - but busy.
Hmm. It's a bit difficult to see the surface of the wood clearly with the desk light on. If I turn it off and leave just the light from the window, it's better: (these are clickable)
And let's move in for a closer peek ... (although at this level, it sure looks messy!)
I kept track of the time spent on this during the week. The 'gaps' are of course for other work ... bookkeeping, etc.
| Hours | |
| Thursday evening: | 4 |
| Friday morning | 3 |
| - evening | 4 |
| Saturday morning | 3 |

| Sunday morning | 3 |

| Monday morning | 3 |
| - afternoon | 2 |
| - evening | 3.5 |
| Tuesday evening | 3.5 |
| Wednesday morning | 4 |
| - afternoon | 2 |
| Total: | 46 |
So there's six days of my life gone ... in a pile of tiny wood chips on the floor around the carving bench! But it has been a most enjoyable and peaceful six days of work - very nice to be 'back at it'!
