Handprinted


 This one kind of sneaked in today. I'd only planned to do the carnation print but I had the need to do something black and graphic as well.

Last night I saw a Man Ray photo on Ebay. Its of a naked woman (Turns out it's Meret Oppemheim) posing with a priting press. Probably a litho press, with a big wheel. She has her hand to her head in a mock "wiping the sweat away" gesture, and she had black ink, from her elbow to her fingertips. As if applied with a roller. I loved that ink and couldn't help wonder how her arm would print up.

So here's a postcard done from my quick scribble of the inked hand. Handprinted.
