Great works Carl, I used watercolors on engravings in styrofoam and that works 2 though not very stable but who cares!

Found this new print from Carlos Botana (Spain) in issue 6 of the zine in a box assembies, developed by PC Tictac (Germany), see entries on the group collaborative books.

I was just once again looking at the pieces you sent me for "Just Mail Art." those are so different...monochrome. You do really cool work, Carl.

carmela,

first one, the watercolour crinkled,deformed the paper,

maybe an optical effect, second one is on textured paper,

a little grainy........

Thanks for sharing these, Carl. Very unusual optical effects.

Guido, Ilike very much your etchings !!! as Dan said, one can recognise your style in them ,too...I just want to ask you to make some other prints with other colours just using the same original plates...that would be an iteresting provocation,to obtain new colour surfaces.You need ,of course the printing machine.

You old book is so precious too !
