Prints from week 14/12/10

Here are some experiments of imagery for my final print made book, I have explored some type possibly for the cover and also composition and some content of what could be happening in the etchings.

The above image will be the final page in the book

This etching of peacock feathers flying all across the page is for the scene where the jay gets his stoled plumes plucked, i want to really fill the page with decorative feathers.

How many Prints did you make this week?

About 15 etchings

__ How many of these taught you something new?

About half, i figured out that when the paper is too wet the ink creates a very pale, washed out effect as the ink does not bite into the texture of the paper properly. This happened quite a few times before i realised it was due to wet paper!

__ How many hours did you spend in the Printmaking Workshop?
