New Stencils.

I really don't like to use commercial stencils, so whenever I can, I cut my own from lightweight card.
These 2 above are the latest efforts hot of the craft knife! I can't wait to try them out on the Gelatine plate!

A Different Direction.

 With a deadline looming for artworks that feature the human form, I made a small thermofax screen featuring a female image. I printed the screen onto already existing gelatine plate prints and added a few extra marks in the case of the darker work.

It's always pleasing to find just the right background for added printmaking, especially if the prints have been put aside for quite some time, as in the case of these two. Above is 'Can't See the Wood for the Trees' and below is 'The Writing on the Wall'
