Inky hands

I finally got all the ink off my hands last night, just in time to go back into the print room to ink them up all over again!

So today I moved my prints, that I did last week, on another bit.
But sure I wasn't able to post the pics I took of my prints last week was I? So I'll put up some of those first.


Ok so this first one is very yellow. But I love it, the way the two tones blend into each other has that feeling I was trying to capture. But its also a bit bland and blah. I'm going to leave it the way it is for now though because I don't want to 'ruin' it by putting something over it that I might not be happy with.

This bluey one has got two shades of blue blending down into white, and it now has a water tower printed over it I think. And another shade of blue...I can't remember now!

 This one has decided to be sideways.... the blue goes at the top though so just tilt your head to the right and it should look ok.... This one was a bit of an accident. I didnt realise the lighter blue background was still so wet when I tried to do another darker blue over the top of it, so when I peeled the acetate off it pulled some of the blue with it. But sometimes there are 'happy accidents' and I think this might be one.

 This is one of my favourite prints that I've made so far. It looks a bit like rain, I think. I'm not sure yet if it feels finished. I don't want to put a big watertower across it but it might need something. I'll have another look at it tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, I can't wait to have another whole day in the printroom. I love it and I never want to leave! And if they make me leave then I will be forced to haunt them!
