Sunny Sunday And Interiour Spaces

Finally!  My first reduction print with my new Caligo Safe Wash inks and using my bottle jack press.  This was a long time coming because each colour took a week OR MORE to dry.  Getting appendicitis didn't help getting it done either.  I now move at the pace of a speedy ninety-year old.  They are all done on soft BFK printmaking paper.  I only printed 8 and one is deposited into a waiting Ikea frame.  Most of my prints are carefully sized to fit easily available frames.  I was very pleased with the Caligo Inks.  I just have to learn to be patient.  I'm hoping to get it into my Etsy store in a day or so.

Here it is framed, in front of my fireplace for the time being. It would look great in a kitchen! Those strange brown things are my collection of concrete acorns.
 I did manage to complete another small print, Interior Spaces while waiting for this one to dry.

This little girl has been walking around in my head for a long time.  I was glad to get her and her house onto paper.  This print is hand pulled on Japanese Okawara paper and some on Kozuke.  I love the soft Japanese paper.  I'm always drawing things in little boxes.  I think it has to do with sorting and filing things in our memories.  Separate memories are like little time boxes, stored away.  There is something very stable and re-assuring about a box.

Now it's time to go lie down.  Post appendicitis I have found that even sitting can be tiring!
