The large wood cut of the wolves – see image in the last posting – is mostly finished.
Its the biggest piece I have attempted and printing on Monday was interesting. I don’t have the right paper yet (I am waiting on a roll of Japanese Kozo paper) so I experimented with printing parts of it on the etching press using heavier dampened paper. I used Hannemule and Somerset.
Possibly it looks like slightly boring though beautifully textured wall paper. It may be the images are very familiar to me. I am leaving for a couple of days and then I will take another look. The key though is that it was envisioned as a whole so I won’t make any decisions until it is printed as such.
I can’t help thinking that it needs something else. It is extremely difficult to know when a piece is finished or not.
my camera is playing up so I’ll post an image shortly.
