THIRD DAY
Spent the morning cutting paper to size, taping the photostencil window to the right size, setting up registrations – then I began to print grey backgrounds, large and small. The light cartridge paper stuck, but the heavy canaletto paper worked well. Now I have 7 large and 14 small backgrounds to print on next Monday.
Began to draft out some of the things I want to print: names of vegetable seeds. Who named a climbing French bean 'District Nurse' or a pea as 'Gravedigger' ? How were those names handed down? Who wrote them down?
