    Sometimes ink gets into weird places on a printing block and that can make it hard to 'read' the image. It may help to clarify the image if you take a piece of paper, lay it over the block and secure it somehow, and then use a pencil (or crayon or charcoal) to lightly 'shade' in the image.

    dynamite idea pp, thinking about it, if it ever had prints made they would be in reverse right ? :confused:

    i'd like to keep that original ink on though as thats a part of it really

    Yeah the print and the block are inverse of each other. If you did as I suggested above, it would also be 'backwards' from what would be produced by actually printing it.

    without doing it the proper way (which i don't wanna do) with ink, its gonna be difficult

    so just had a play with what was around

    and the end result was....................interesting.........definitely not clearer though :)
