I've printed all four panels of "The Moth Burial" now--here's the sheet, in the morning sun. (It's finally hot & steamy here--I'm sitting outside this morning-- before it gets unbearable.)
I'm waiting till the ink's 100 percent dry before I fold it up. With the high humidity, best to wait several days.
I'm pleased! There are some issues... I have a couple copies to experiment with fixing by hand.
Some people's prints were perfect. One person in class said, "You were ambitious".
A four-board story was more ambitious than I'd realized.
I was careless about registering the paper so all the prints lined up right, and there were things I didn't think to take care for--like, inking each board the same, so each print is consistent.
But that's okay--Penny Cooper was thrilled.
I was a little surprised--I'd thought she'd be critical, but she didn't think in those terms at all. Rather, "That was good, what we did for the moth."
Technical problems don't bother me all that much either--I'd rather jump right in.
"I like to start on page 18", Auntie Vi used to say.
