Me And The Devil Blues part 4

 Having finished (for now) the image area of the print, I knew that today I would begin with the text at the bottom of the print.  I had previously redone the lettering, so it was just a matter of cutting them out.  As I always tell people who are shocked at my ability to do this, cutting out a backwards letter is no more difficult than cutting out a forwards letter- it's just a shape to go around.   I finished the top line fairly quickly, and decided that doing the second line would take more time than I wanted to be there today, so I moved on to work some more on this year's holiday card.  I had started drawing it at home, but I fixed a few parts of the drawing that needed it, and cut out the margin around the piece.  So far my glued on piece of wood is holding on as desired.  Of course I have no pictures of the card to show you yet, but there is an image of my other block below:

One thing I did notice today was that I seemed to cut a lot of "Y" shapes out, so I went back and looked at that first line.  All but one word had a "Y" in it- "you may bury my body down by".  This doesn't affect the print at all, but it's just something I noticed.  Only one "Y" in the whole second line of text.
