So there it is, the text printed, the leaves printed. I'm not sure that I'm so happy about it. It took me three ink mixes before I found the right color for the darker color of the leaves. I wanted the colors to move, ie, to not be so perfectly registered, so that the leaves looked like they were quaking in the wind. I don't think I like the result though.
So I made 2 more screens today, to give the leaves a bit more definition, and after printing up a few more, I decided I liked that even less. So here I am, leaving well enough alone, for now. See this entry for where it was before I added the text and the darker color of the leaves.
Now I'm back to finish prepping my 7x7 boards.

Thanks, gl, glad to have the positive feedback; that helps w/ the 'thinking it over' part.
your work is very beautiful and it looks like you keep busy!
this looks awesome, even if not exactly as you'd pictured
helen & trollop -- thanks for the encouragement. The broadsides are numbered and signed, and waiting to be delivered. And I have to say, I'm going to miss them! After spending over 2 weeks lavishing a whole lot of attention on them, I got attached...
that's good; after all that trouble you had i thought you'd be ready to burn them. :)
