More Proofs

A slab of white to roll on my copper plate which still had left on it remnants of blue ink.

Printed on Rives BFK gray, this created a pale steel gray image.

Preparing another slab of pink ink to roll on my second copper plate, my image of Lisbeth's eyes...

Which I printed over the gray image, and again by itself on the lower half of the page.



Some graphite drawing on the eyes at the top of the page...

Prints soaking, getting ready for another run through the press...

A pink overlay of Lisbeth's eyes on the indigo blue print.

Men at work.

Another sweet afternoon spent in the new printshop, experimenting with colors and layering images. Too Much Fun.

Etchings


Yesterday I pulled the first proofs of my sugarlift etchings.
And etched a new plate.
Here it is getting degreased with Comet...
I will be layering this image of Lisbeth's eyes with images of her snowflakes using multiple plates.
The plates waiting in my cubby.
Ooooh, it feels SO GOOD to be printing again. Ahhhhh.....
