3 days ago by craftsanity I think I’m done with this wonky weave now.

I have a whole pile of misprints in the front and 16 usable prints in the background. (Each one goes through the press twice.) I have to cut more paper and try to squeak out 9 more solid prints. I think I’m going to color in the clothes and hair with watercolors or marker. I used colored pencil on the misprint sample in the front, but I’m thinking that I can do better. This is a great
