The Path of Steel

Early morning on the train - bit of a gap in communications due to pressure inside  and more outside  : so not as much time available as one might have hoped .

- inside pressure consists mainly of Y3 Print show which will be revealed to the waiting world in all its glory tomorrow - for blast see various F pages -library, su, et al -


I know you can't wait but I am afraid you will have to  - because we're worth it !!

Did some print, though : discovered the lace-like plate that had been left for a long time in the acid and decided to make blind emboss and to print:


 
The plate - you can see how heavily bitten it is

 
The emboss  -very poor image: conditions bad - but maybe you can see how fine the emboss is - a thicker plate would be need to get a serious image - I am considering blowing podered graphite across the surface but I think that should be done at home - very messy stuff.
 
 
 
The print
 - maybe  I should have used this in the decaying ear series because it really does represent the loss of hearing with age.
 
Coming into Limerick -more later
