Zion National Park lino - Alternate color schemes

 
Finally finished the Zion National Park linos today.  Wanted to add some color to them so I created a roll of multiple colors to do so.  It was my first time rolling more than one color together at the same time and it was an interesting learning experience for me.

Image on left is a 4 color roll.  It includes red, orange, yellow and a tan-yellow (which all but disappeared).  The image on the right is red and a red-orange.

Had some issues with the ink being to thick when rolling it out.  Some of that thick ink worked it's way into the detail areas of the block and removed a good bit of them.  I tried cleaning out those areas in between prints, but in cases it was well entrenched.

Very happy to have finally finished this particular block and to have tried something new.
