We often share our best work and then folks think, “Oh, she just pulls perfect prints all the time. ”  Well I know that is not true for me and that I have to make many prints to get one or two that I like.  I work with the idea of, “Try it and see what happens.”

So today is  day 2 of Make My Mark in May.   I made a thermo fax screen of a line drawing that I did a few weeks back.  Then I dug through some monotype prints to find one that might make a good foundation for the screen print.

I was looking for something “quiet” and light, so it would let the line drawing be the focus.
