Background

Studio 150
To make paper more visually interesting printer's use a variety of  methods.  I decided that my paper needed a subtle background on it.  So I created a collograph based on the digital design on military uniforms. I used a piece of 3/4 inch plywood for the base, bristol paper cut into square shapes and matte medium to seal it on the board.

Yesterday, I went to Studio 150 in Gordo, AL to begin printing it.  I printed for a little over 4 hours and I can tell that I did. Today my right arm and shoulder is very tired and sore from cranking the rollers down the bed of the press.
Press I am printing on - a Vandercook 4.  See the block in the bed of the press?
Can you see the printing?  It's hardly visible.  Just what I want.
