To answer Patti Phare-Camp’s question asking if the sun in the Talkative Tortoise print was chine colle, I decided to show you. As you can see from the block, it is not chine colle, but rather printed. I was startled to carve this block and see how un-round the sun actually looks. I’m still amazed to see how the key block completed the circle!

Neat to see this block. You did a great job with registration! Did you carve this just a little larger than necessary so there was a tiny bit of overlap into the key block?
