Barenlove, part II
I still have a serious crush on this new baren. Three passes have now been made, and so far our teamwork has been admirable. My original notes said this print would only be 8 colors, but this is 7 and we're at least 2 or 3 from the end. I'll say it again: Plan? What plan?
I'm feeling quite perplexed about this one, to be honest. It seems to have a color life of its own... nothing quite as I thought when I started. But remember our new mantra: Don't panic.
Maybe having mojitos on the aforementioned deck is a good idea, after all.

I am still in awe of your registration skills. I think I'll attempt a small-scale lino reduction that won't make me TOO depressed when the layers are off by inches.
