The lemonade piece - it is degated and sand blasted. The next step is to do the chasing and then figure out how to make it into lemonade since there is a little more pourocity than I was hoping for.

"drifting" When hands tell your story"
I believe you can tell a lot about a person by looking at their hands. With this thought I decided to add the hands to my found object (wirecloth) figurative sculpture I call "drifting". The figurative piece is a study of evolution in an urban environment and the struggle to stay present, in the moment or focused. Below are two views of the figures left hand. I hope his hands reflect the struggle

"happy dog I " monoprint. 11" X 15"
I started by applying the ink with a small brush to my 1/8" plate. The edges are beveled so the press will not cut the paper. I then used canola oil on my brush to thin some of the the ink. I then used a pencil to remove more ink.
