Medals based on first idea
This edition revisits the original idea of using the red tip that shows where to peel the foil on a champagne bottle... I had run out of 'nice' foil so I used the original foils from when we used to drink more champagne... we now drink more red wine, which does not have the same golden-type foil... I think I should look for more foils to use underneath... more foil and more types of foil...
I am printing more editions so I can send a wide range of prints for Margie, of Africa Nove, to see for stock...

Cameos and medals
Today's batch... Getting back into it :-)
When I was down in Cape Town I went to Africa Nova and asked Margie for some input about these prints. It was decided that I should find/make a stand in which I could show the prints as well as hang the jewellery from. Probably a bent and folded perspex stand...
I also decide that I would start doing some deliberate work and limit the vagaries of the muse... so I want to make in the morning and write in the afternoon (it is now afternoon:-)
So, this is my batch for this morning... an hour to get ready and 4 prints in the next hour... One interesting thing that happened is the mixture of embossing and printing. One of these have a plain embossed ribbon (no white)... so I think I will try that tomorrow...
I do think that women deserve medals ... but with qualifications, which is where the titles of the prints will come into it. The titles will be based on little things found in the prints, like misalignments and overlaps etc...
