Was a bit of a pain to lock-in as I'm not overly familiar with the process. Oddly I enjoyed doing it though, spoke to my OCD nature.
[Note: ragstick means umbrella in "Northern", not tampon like everyone is thinking it does]
Don't have any images of the actual prints yet, leaving them in uni over the weekend to dry properly. Some work better than others, but I'm generally really pleased with the outcome. Again, it was just kinda nice to get my hands grubby (although I'm paying for it now, damn eczema). Admittedly I get very bored, very easily and sometimes just have to do something spontaneous and different to get creativity flowing again. I don't know if it's something that all creatives find themselves doing or if it's just me and my short attention span.
Embossing is finished, not photographed that quite yet. Will try to get around to it tomorrow.
At a bit of a crossroads where my writing is concerned. I think/know that my better pieces are those that are personal, they mean something to me and aren't just random drabble and this is why they're better than all my other stuff. But this poses me with a bit of a problem. These personal pieces, well I'm just not sure if I want to share them with everybody. I'm an incredibly private person, I don't know why, just am, putting myself out there as I do with my writing makes me feel a bit vulnerable to be honest. So this is my problem. How do I put myself out there if I don't want to? Random musing over.
Oh and decided to do the LifeInstructions piece in lino instead of letterpress. Not enough letters/space for it. Poop.
