Explorations in monotype, hand-pulled prints

Here are a few hand-pulled monotype prints, easily done at my home studio when I don't have access to a press. Both monotype prints made use of two plates, in this instance small copper plates that I had around the studio.

Black-eye Charlie (4 x 4 inches, 10 x 10 cm) a hand-pulled monotype print on mylar film, using two copper plates, one inked in black and the other in red.

Charlie (4 x 4 inches, 10 x 10 cm) a hand-pulled monotype print on low-weight paper, using the residual ink on the two copper plates used for the first print on mylar.
