after two days of jamón and wine

back to work. our nephew and his wife's visit was indeed too short,but terrifically enjoyable.

 the maiwa course has me bouncing off the walls.💖 everything about it the content, the way it is presented, the clear explanations.

already started working with printing with mordant paste.interesting that there's no universal reecipe for the printing surface, one has to try what works with the different tools. wooden blocks -at least mine- like a firmer surface stencils on the other hand profit from a less firm one.

i am being incredibly judicious following instructions, taking all kinds of notes, cleaning the brushes, urfaces  and tools right after finishing working. the cleaning part is a major feat as i tend to leave that for mañana but sometimes mañana doesn't come.    (シ_ _)シ.

this is medium weight cotton sheeting dyed with carrot tops

already dunged to clean the background .there is stenciling,block printing,foam stamp printing and foam roller.

i need to concentrate more on the processes and less on the results, but all in all it has made impact on my practice. seems i'll be bidding farewell to the kamikaze dyer.
