Little rays of sunshine...

 My 'Stargazers' have sailed away to a new home

 The beginnings of a new collagraph plate

Only wish I could do a couple of test prints... Norman has almost finished getting the press up and ready, now I just need some press blankets.

 

Anyone know where I can get some at a reasonable price....? Second hand would be OK.   Please leave a message or email me if you know of any.  I've been quoted £370.00 + vat + postage...which is way way too much.  

 

The overall size of the press bed is 137 x 87.. I know... it's large, hence the huge cost of the blankets.  So any alternative ideas welcome...

And.... 

The sun is trying to shine this morning...

Thank you all so much

I have been fortunate to have been included in four Etsy showcases recently, and I would just like to say a big thank you to those that have included my work, I am thrilled.

I would have loved show you the showcases, but I don't know how... The numpty that I am, so I have added  their Etsy shop addresses... I make my apology's to all of you and I hope that this is OK...
