tried out the daniel smith solar etching plate under glass(no acid or chemicals necessary) washes with water
inspiration: this illustration (above)
i hope to ink and print the solar plate on thursday. it will go on top of the color prints (which need to dry for now)
stay tuned to see the finished print!

inspiring! I haven't done any printing for a while; looks like some good new techniques out there.
thanks suzanna! i think there is still much to be discovered w/ chemical free printing. it's exciting, frustrating and all new to me.
So cool...i love mushrooms...i have a bunch of sketches i still have translated into linoleum yet! Those prints are pretty awesome! chemical free is always good...i try to be good because i have a septic tank...ewww i know!
funny, these are from sketches i did a long time ago too...when i was looking forward to fall weather. from the idea to the sketch to the actual finished piece can sometimes take a very long time!
whaaaat?! does that mean if you use chemicals and flush them down the drain the tank might be exploding crap?!!!!??? ha haaaa
well it just means harsh chemicals will kill off the good bacteria...whichs eats said crap...although it would be quite comical if it exploded... well maybe...
