Tatzelwurm lino cut

Today I printed the Tatzelwurm lino cut. To quote Melody:  "I'm underwhelmed". The middle part looks a little puzzling, whereas the clouds are clear enough. I should cut out more parts to make white zones stand against the black; but "Ketu who devours the moon" is a being of darkness. He symbolizes one of the moon knodes.
Uploading is a bit difficult at the moment; do you experience that, too?

I uploaded last night- Usually these things are corrected in a day (or the wave moves on to a different part of the blogosphere).

if you are really 'underwhelmed' with your linocut, I'd be more than happy to take it off of your hands! It's wonderful! I love the detail in your carving!!
