Well it’s been a hectic few weeks, working on prints for exchanges, making christmas presents, doing pottery and tai chi, christmas parties and oh yeah, working!
The ever talented R. has built me a press based on Charles Morgan’s
design I have to say based on because R. is an engineer and as such, engineering has happened.
Click the photos in this post for bigger images because I think there might be a few!
So far I have printed a lino cut and a drypoint with it. There is fine tuning in the printing process to be done but they are certainly getting there! In the image of the drypoint you can see the inked plate and the print (the print being the lighter one).I think my paper was a bit too damp still.
For christmas presenst this year I made a gingko screen print and made a journal and bags for R’s sisters. I was thinking the journals might work on etsy any thoughts?
Anyway iIm going to dash off, I’ll be back with some art goals later!
