At Sea

I got my new “Gelli” plate for printing. I’ve been experimenting like crazy and getting a little crazy from frustration. The learning curve to loosening up enough has been surprisingly hard! The Gelli plate is not great for making fine lines and the ink isn’t great for making washes. Those two things are more than half of my normal mark-making tool-kit. Sometimes it’s good to be forced into a sort of corner. More on the way soon.
