4th May: So wadaya think? First silk screen! Ha ha, easy peasy. Had a bit of fun with a puzzle that I found and the noble characters of Uncle Sam and Richard I (the Lion Heart / Coeur de Lion). I have to admit that I got quite a buzz out of doing this. The last time I had done any printing was at college, which was about 20 years ago. For the project that I was given I produced a rather uninspiring, insipid, colourfully dull lino print. With a blunt 'I dont think so' and a gentle smile, my tutor suggested to me that well I might not be suited to print making. Unfortunately though some times you need those skills you gave up on to produce what you want. Thank fully I found someone with the time and patience to show me how. So now I am thinking what next?
