The white line woodcuts use the Bokashi blend very nicely also.  Some might
call it a rainbow roll or blend.  I don't know how you'd do that using just
watercolor--maybe a gradated wash?

Sharri, thanks for the woodcut.  It's a knockout.  I'll put mine in the mail
to you today.

Dan,

I do this by not inking all the way to the edges of the block. I use the
same inks you do (really - you're Not the only one!) and apply them with the
brayer or a brush, but without going to the edges, whether it's lino or
wood. If I plan this ahead of carving, I use a larger block so I can still
have as much print area as if I had carved a smaller block and inked it all.

Depending on the fade-away you want, you could brayer "casually" in several
directions, slightly lifting the brayer as you get to your new non-edge, or
use a brush to "feather" the ink outward from where you left off with the
brayer.

With any of these methods, the block is still intact if you later want to
print it to its edges. You may or may not have carved it to the edges,
depending on whether the soft-edged look is a forethought or an
afterthought. I usually have already carved the block and it's just the
inking which is different.

I suppose it also wouldn't matter if you were burnishing by hand or using a
press, although I always hand print.

Best wishes,
        Randi

John:

I'd like to claim the set that came back without an address if that works.
I haven't received a set and would love to have those.  Please let me know
the cost of mailing.
