Somethings make me very sad,
but I don't know why.
I am very sorry

Last of 2010
I ended the year with two copper plate etchings. I am very pleased with most of my prints and how they turned out. I experimented with the technique chine-collé.
My subject matter was hunting and the texture of fur.
These are only a few pictures of the final prints. For my printing paper I used two different shades of Rivers BFK paper, one in an off white cream and another in a dark natural brown. For a few of the editions, I used a Japanese rice-paper, kitakata. This paper is very thin and has sort of a pink flesh tone to it. For four other editions of the print, I used pages from a Yellow Pages. The pages used were numbers and advertisements for meat businesses; one of my favorites, "STEAKS UNLIMITED" (which is no closed).
