You printmakers out there may know the state(s)/stages part of making prints can become moments of the never ending speed hump. In the back of my mind is the thought "what other possibilities havnt i tried?" of course it can occur ever so easily the other way when things come together in the most natural way. I am still resolving those prints begun at the begining of the year & also several others that need to be finalised.. I am leaning toward some embossed shapes in the background at the moment( though these seem abit intruisive). It is noticeable though that selling & exhibiting state/colour proofs is more common now so eventually these might be someones treasured item.
