I am also enamored with your beautiful raven paintings.<br /><br />Stan, sounds wonderful! Wish I had gotten into it earlier. So much fun. Thanks for the compliment!<br /><br />Hey Don, yes, they are expensive! Pokrasso did show us how to do hand pulled prints which worked out really well actually so may try that. There are pictures in my picasa albums that can be reached by clicking on the slide show on my front page that show how he sets that up.<br /><br />Thanks Leslie, I know what you mean. So many great mediums and techniques and art supplies, so little time and money!

I know what you mean about wanting a press, but alas who can afford one?<br /><br />As for crow photos, I think every cemetery I've ever walked in had crows hopping around. Maybe that would be a good spot to get some nice shots...<br /><br />-Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693069070043317640.post-56701229109927239982010-03-13T20:05:07.823-06:002010-03-13T20:05:07.823-06:00Oh Tonya, I can relate when you say you want a pre...Oh Tonya, I can relate when you say you want a press. I had the opportunity to work with two Tamarind Master Printers, Joy Percival Baker and Lyn Elton Baker. Got to be good friends with Lyn and I made monoprints for a period. So much fun. That was a quite a few years ago, but the experience was so rewarding and I learned quite a bit about print making. I was amazed at all the neat things you could do with a press. Your two pieces are absolutely stunning!Stan Kurthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591425614127432689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693069070043317640.post-28296346372055045402010-03-13T17:23:03.165-06:002010-03-13T17:23:03.165-06:00I love this crow piece!!
