Lucky to have had two days in the studio. After lot’s of fussing with plates, making a template printing two layers of copper plates- I need to start over. I plan to start the proof again. Change the dark plates and fix the wing. That is what proofing is all about. Happy Printing Everyone.

I found the Copper Spirit plates. They need a good clean up, but not to bad for being in storage for so long. Always wanted to weld the plates together for a wall hanging. Kind of glad I didn’t. The plates still need some fiddling around with. But I am glad to confirm to myself …

Artist Printmaker Inking Reporting
I have had two wonderful days printing in the Print Studio. I am feeling very grateful the Nepean Creative Art Centre was allowed to reopen. Before lockdown I was working on an etching and had only proofed it before everything closed. So I pulled it out of my map drawer and started playing. Even before …
write ups about Old Prints “But” Good Prints
