But it is an iron-based red/livery purple in shadow turning brown as it ages. This should be fairly fresh looking so its just a matter of getting the right shade...(without poking myself in the finger!) Tomorrow after work I'll have a go. Keyblock is printed.

And...I meant it as a joke, as I collect oxymorons.<br /><br />And there are real political (social) issues of a rural / urban polarity for many of my fellow country folks.<br /><br />You're right, though, as my nearby city Ottawa is currently debating whether chickens should be allowed on city lots!<br /><br />I'd read your thoughts on urban farming. Hey, there's a woodcut in that idea too :o)<br /><br />Cheers, OscarOscarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679129902142993265.post-753765079388502312010-08-10T11:12:23.605-07:002010-08-10T11:12:23.605-07:00I'll have to dig around for an iron oxide.

It is no longer an oxymoron although I'm no longer farming--a source of much frustration and angst.<br />But the slow erosion of food security and availability that is one of many side effects of the industrialization of farming in the last 100yrs is something I'm very interested in.<br />Chickens and vegetable gardens on the front lawn have cropped up in my suburban American landscape; something that might not surprise a European reader--but is a definite change in mindset here.Andrew Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184272649874888854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679129902142993265.post-43587738210016363102010-08-10T09:05:40.311-07:002010-08-10T09:05:40.311-07:00i really like the way this one is progressing! its...i really like the way this one is progressing! its hard to tell on the computer but perhaps you could add a just a little iron oxide or indian red to the red you are using to darken it up and tone it down i bit?Vizarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12253834697346790723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679129902142993265.post-15186729693323456152010-08-10T07:56:00.836-07:002010-08-10T07:56:00.836-07:00Lovely work, Andrew!

I am often too anxious, neurotic, as I don't see myself as a good printer. Welcoming the surprise might be useful for me!<br /><br />Your subject matter is quirky enough to be very inspiring.<br /><br />By the way, is "urban farmer" my oxymoron of the day? :o)<br /><br />OscarOscarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679129902142993265.post-67736436121556886122010-08-10T06:14:33.831-07:002010-08-10T06:14:33.831-07:00I like very much, blue one.I like very much, blue one.Daniel L.
