Poppy prints

This composition has gone through several different incarnations -
originally a series of watercolours and photos taken during 'Art in the Garden', Hollowtree, Devon.
The first development ended up as a peculiarly coloured screen print, reworked and transferred 
on to a photopolymer etching plate.
The prints on paper are really successful but I could not resist running the plate through the press
with finely woven cotton.
Once dry (Caligo oil based ink is great but it does take forever to dry) add some watercolour and stitch 
until you can bring yourself to stop - have I finished? Probably not.
