New Monoprint Off The Press

I have been working on this monoprint for a few weeks now, down at the Porthmeor Print Workshop. I needed to inject a bit of colour into my work! I used Speedball water based inks.......just as well as this photo was taken after pull number 7 where I nearly lost the lot due to not checking the tension of the press........
.......luckily Michele Wright was quick to help out, she helped me recover, and after one final roll through the press, here is the final piece drying. Now all I have to worry about is the framing........
