We are now ready to get back to the business of printmaking - almost. My last contribution to the skin show is a handmade paper piece. The skins, aka peelings, from onions, carrots and broccoli have been boiled beyond recognition with a little caustic agent and at the end of the process, a buffering agent to make it Ph neutral. Only a few sheets were made and one was carefully draped over my hand to form somewhat of a casting - albeit a speed record in the casting process. The color was not anticipated, but is very pleasant and works well with the title: Skin.
