Started off the day by taking Julia's advice. She suggested I print onto tissue paper using the actual components and then using them for collage! So I spent all morning printing away. I ended up using 'yellow ochre' simply because I couldn't get the lid off the black ink! But I like it anyway.

So after lunch, these prints were still wet and Dave was looming. Eventually he caught up with me and said he liked what I'd done so far. He asked what I was gonna do next and I kinda shrugged and mumbled. He nodded and told me to keep printing and that he'd had an idea. He went off into the cupboard, grabbed some stuff and then took me to the skip to find ... well, anything. We picked up an old floppy disk but not much else.

He then showed me how to do a relief print (really easy, but so effective in my opinion!) You basically stick something under this brown paper and roll over the top with an inked-up roller. Lovely.

This is evidently Dave's favourite process, since he did about five before he let me even have a go. I kept on going until he left, and when he came back, I'd done at least 20 prints! I started using my own shapes and components and it's all starting to look pretty cool. Especially on the aluminium foil!

So hopefully all this stuff will be (vaguely) dry tomorrow so I can work with it.

Otherwise, I'm gonna be b o r e d.
