It's inevitable that after a printing session there will be prints that fail to meet expectations. Some are just too bad to be used whole, so that cutting into rejects is often the way to go. The background print from a few months ago, shown above, has a lot going for parts of it, but as a whole it isn't very interesting. The circles are cut from more recent collagraph plates prints and suggest moons to me. Layered over the slightly darker background prints, the title Blue Moons springs to mind. The cut outs aren't glued down yet, but what the heck, I will glue them down.
In the meantime, I've been trying out inversions and tweaking in Photoshop. The outcome is not so moody, but might be worth playing around with a little more some time.
