At Last Some Art.

 Today I managed to find the time to get back to some art work using the trusty home made gelatine plate. For all of these prints I have used my hand carved stamps for the figures, some circular textured collagraph plates and  some cardboard rings which came from a collection of childrens' play pieces.

 Each print has several layers, but even so they are not yet finished. I want to add some more stamped images in a dark grey or dark blue.

 Here you can see the 3 different sized rubber figures that I carved.  In fact there is one even larger making 4 in all. I didn't realize at the time of printing, that the rings behind the figures look somewhat like eyes!

    I also used a commercial ripple stencil which shows very clearly in the above and below prints.

 I must admit that the more striking print below was not planned, but I was very pleased with how it turned out. Again however, I want to add a little more to the print, probably some darker stamps.
