Periodic Table-SB (51) in light brown (Akua ink)
Antimony (SB, 51) from the Printmakers' Periodic Table of the Elements project. This spring, I tried the plate out with this light brown ink on cream paper. Akua intaglio inks, Somerset paper. The image is based on the town of Antimony, Utah. Having lived in the West for a while, I think of the green hills and valleys as turning brown as the hot summer sun dries things out. Was going for that effect here. But I think I still prefer the dark green I used for the 'official' project version.
