'Pray For Me'

That's the title of my woodcut, and yes I did manage to get it finished, and even managed to cut a second colour! Very pleased with how it turned out, the only thing not right with it is the second colour isn't registered quite right because I forgot to leave a border around the edge to line it up. But hey I'll remember that the next time. And there will be a next time! Fiona Quill asked me and Kate the other day which type of print we had enjoyed the most so far or felt an affinity for, for me I think woodcut might be my 'thing'. Maybe it's too early to be saying that but I really enjoyed it and once I had borrowed the right tools (thanks Osh!) then it all seemed to just feel right or something. Maybe thats just my hangover talking. Anyway heres a picture of three different ways I printed the hands, black and gold, teal, red and peach and teal, gold and black. The red peach and teal are the colours from the dream that I had that inspired this woodcut but I think my favourite of the three is the black and gold.


Assessments are on Monday, so I'll be spending the weekend making sure I have all my sketchbooks in order and I might even go in to college tomorrow to hang my work! If I can find the bluetack that is.
