Maud

Hole in one

It has been a while since I got down & dirty with Maud & Gertrude, so I thought I'd better fill that hole. 

This weekend has therefore been all about mocking up some bits and bobs involving holes, ornaments, Granby Light amongst others... & then for kicks trying out some paper manipulation.

The round window...

Maud & I have been working on a little commission. There are holes, Bugra Butten & Somerset Newsprint... 

Skin & blister...

Mocking up some b-day cards for a certain person this weekend. Wanted something simple, clean & red (of course). Tried out some Bockingford 300g, new/old 48pt foundry type, took a look through the round window & bingo:

Come into the garden, Maud...

Here at the Red Eel Press I've been getting to grips with my new flatbed press, Maud.  Her rollers & ink plate have been covered in dark grey & midnight blue inks; her bed has been filled with floral & fancy borders; & she has been loaded with card stock...
