Don and I got together yesterday and have exchanged prints, and taken away ideas to work on the second part of the project – the response prints to each others work.

Bearing in mind that Ireland is a state of mind rather than a place?
These are the latest images from my current work. They fit together to form one long image.

Things have continued to move forward today. After my last printing session when I struggled to see how things were going to fit together. Today after much thinking and less doing, 'the penny dropped' and the image is working much better. I now have a few final changes to some of the lino cuts, and then I need to decide what to use as the background. I have done some screenprint today, and I am considering working on brown paper, or overprinting with monoprints or gum arabic images. will work with Don tomorrow to exchange images and set to work on the response prints to each others work.

Pam again…..I've just inverted the last images I showed you and am going to try the gum arabic transfer process that Sue Brown describes in this winter's edition of Printmaking Today….
