But printing goes on and on and on
I spent the weekend alternately printing and doing nothing. There was quite a lot of both, now that I think about it. I think I've finished the necessary dozen prints for the print exchange, and I've done some tinkering with another shaped plate. I'm hoping to do a proper edition of it before the final class. Hm, will need to consider how I want to do those, and on what size of paper.
Miraculously, I think the scary list of stuff that needs to get done in the next week is getting slightly smaller.
Here's the bunch of letterpress that was making me so sad on Friday:
Two passes through the press, on paper 6"x7".
And this is my latest shaped-plate etching:
The plate is about 5-1/2" high.
I had a version I liked better than this one, actually, that had been inked with two colors going in a sort of gradient from top to bottom, but I left it stuck to my locker, so I couldn't photograph it. Maybe tomorrow.
