So...this is what this project looks like after carving for many hours.

 

How long will this block look so pristinely lino-colored? Only until it gets inked up for printing. After inking, the ink gets absorbed into the lino's DNA and, even after all the ink is washed off, the ink residue remains. Pristine appearance post-inking? Nevermore... :)
