Continuing the process of making 140-150 silver-plated leaves; and printing some uplift nano posters using leftover ink.
But first - the opening image is the polished edge of a brass weight I use for opening the leaves to 90 degrees. Why the opening title? It came to me as I worked on leaves over the last couple of days. Making considerably large numbers of leaves is very repetitive and takes time and therefore a lot of patience as one does not have a lot to show for the time invested - but the final outcome will be worth it. Still some lovely progress photos emerged. The first few photos are of those that will become earrings and pendants; the second last are daily word leaves; and the last is one of the give-away leaves.
We had some periwinkle blue ink left over after our Wednesday poster workshop. Given it was a generally soft blue I decided to print some nano posters (postcards in portrait) as you ce below.
As got to the end I mixed in the last of the process blue - it resulted in a deep navy blue as you can see below.
(((Barry))) love these blue notes
