Continued from [Arts of Japan #4 - 2] : carving moves forward | Starting point of the thread was [Arts of Japan #4 - 1] : work begins

The colour separation work is now done, and it looks as though we'll be able to keep it on four pieces of wood (using both sides, of course):

And here they are, all pasted down:

Flip them over ...

The thread continues in [Arts of Japan #4 - 4] : colour blocks ready ...

Hi Dave, a couple of questions, what's the block that has the big yellow X-out ?

Also I notice that the kento marks are on the individual wood blocks but not drawn in the color separations ????

The yellow 'X' isn't crossing anything out, it's just to show that the whole surface of that block is to be included. If I were to colour it all yellow, the liquid from the marker would probably distort the sheet ...

As for the registration marks, remember that I am doing this an 'alternate' way - I print the transfer sheets by putting them into the registration marks, not on top of them. Then, when I am pasting them down on the blank colour blocks, I cut the registration marks first, then put the sheets into place in the marks, as usual ...
