Chine colle (manhole cover plate)

Detail of a chine colle attempt that was not a complete success technically. Along the top border, you can see where the darker paper I'm printing on was cut too short, so some of the ink sits on the backing paper instead. The thinner, darker paper was trimmed same amount on all sides but it expanded more in one direction than the other. Things to know for next time! Gampi paper on Hahnemuhle 'german etcing' backing paper. Faust oil inks.
