Today I finally got my intaglio prints, from the collage that I had created a few weeks ago, done. I am quite pleased with the out comes, although some of them did work better than others. However I did find it quite difficult to get the right amount of ink, without having to much, but rubbing too much ink off was my biggest problem. However when I worked out what the right amount was my prints came out really well. And I got a few really good print, some of the others printed well but they came out a bit dirty around the edges. The reasons why some didn't work so well was because there was too much or too little ink, or the paper was to wet so the ink spread a little, but I learnt from my mistakes and I will work into the prints that aren't so good, with pen and collage.
I worked back into this with my original photo collage and a fine liner pen.
This was my first print and the paper was way to dry and there was not nearly enough ink.
Today I also caught up with the evaluations in my journal and added to some of the annotation I had done in my sketch book.
