Fresh Ink :: Ladybugs + Red

I'm really happy with how these little ladybugs turned out! I will be mailing them off to their new owner tomorrow :)

Fresh Ink :: l'oliva with gouache

I just finished adding gouache to the leaves and olives and am very happy with how it turned out! I mentioned in my post last Friday that I was both excited and nervous to try another technique....but I'm so glad I did! I really like the varying shades in the olives I was able to achieve by adding more or less water to the gouache.  
What do you think? Would you like to see more prints done this way in the future?

Fresh Ink :: l'oliva

The olives are finally inked and printed! With this print I'm experimenting a bit with some other mediums :: that said it's still not quite complete, ack! I have to let the ink dry a couple days and then I'll be adding some gouache. I've not used gouache in conjunction with printmaking before so I'm both excited and nervous to see what the result will be! 
FYI :: The ink color I used is more of a burnt umber, I know it looks more black in the photo.
Happy weekend!
