When printing myself and Mags worked as a pair and we helped each other learn the process of using the litho printing press. I found it good working in pairs as we both got to do it twice....once with my stone and again with Mags'. I found then when it came to doing my second image, even though we still worked in pairs, I was well versed in the process and a lot more confident. My second image was one of a dog with human eyes which I had sketched in my sketchbook. I had cut the eyes from a magazine so It was a collage. To transfer the eyes onto the stone I used acetone. Both images were successful and I was pleased with the results and felt I got a really good feel for the whole process of Lithography. I learnt how to use the press and achieve the desired build up of tone on the print.
