Going with the Spirit

This hopefully is the final fussing with the placement and printing sequence. It has been a couple of more studio visits to feel confident to go ahead. Next time in the studio I plan to work on the background before printing the copper plates. I love laughing at myself. Being a true ink lover. I …

Still Not There Yet.
