Eighteen Colors and Counting...

Printed six colors today on a day that started out cold and clammy.

After my first two colors, decided to print a reduction stencil.

This is the stencil in the lower right side of the image.

The first printing is white ink.  I then "reduce" the stencil by 

brushing on lacquer based blockout to fill the area of the stencil

I would like to remain white.  Then, without changing register

(alignment), I reprint the same stencil using pink ink.  Now I 

have the pink printed in perfect alignment over the white and

I've only cut one stencil.  A little later I'll print another reduction

stencil and print 4 colors (quite a feat) and everything should

align perfectly.  Got so psyched with how nice this came out that

I cut two fairly complex stencils (purple and dark green) and

printed both of them too!  Course, I'm posting this at almost 10 PM,

so it was a very full day of work.  

I won't print tomorrow ( my skills as a babysitter are in high demand),

but I'll try to print a couple colors on Sunday.   Stay tuned.

By Monday or Tuesday this is really going to get exciting.
Wait until I start printing the rest of the flowers.
