How did you make these marks then?
tinfoil with...?

hi michael - just tin foil pressed onto the inked plate, then taken off, then paper printed - it works well once (see middle print), overlaying/redoing the tin foil bit isn't that successful (see first print).
but the red on the middle one is backdrawn.

I like the color and texture of these prints, Gesa - very nice. And the avocado leaves are beautiful, too. It's fun to watch this progress!

Hi Brian - it's fun making them, too :)
Most of the photos are poor though, i need to see if I can scan them in properly - at least for some of the finished ones; but i'm building up a nice 'library' of different textures/techniques and lucky accidents for future use.
That's really good.
