DC 95: Moon

The moon reminds me of texture, walking, phases — and our smallness amid this universe. For this week's Drawing Challenge I created two new moon prints:

"Moon," collograph with chine colle, 3.5 x 3.5 inches


 "Phases," collograph, monoprint, embossment, 9 x 3.5 inches


12 years ago I pulled this lunar eclipse print:
"Eclipse," mixed media print with relief, drypoint, chine colle and pin

  1. Great. All of them. Can't say which I love most. There's something in each, that reaches me deep inside. Something that keeps me staring at them, trying to find out, what it is that fascinates me so much. I can't tell. But it does.

  3. I like the texture you created with the print, its really very moonlike and the 12 year old work is gorgeous.

  4. I love the textures in these, especially the collograph, where you've caught the nitty gritty rock of the moon!

  5. Dear Emily,
    I like your collograph very much! Even that you have used that piece of the dictionary.
    Wonderful texture, beautiful fruits! The 'old' one, too. Very moony!

    there is, like the word in the first work tells me, a lot of light, moonlight in all three of your works Emily, the moon really shines here with great power and i love all three of them,
    i like the pin added to the last work, the pinhead a small moon itself.xx

  9. these are beautiful!
    but because etching is
    a true love of mine
    I fell for the last one
    with the dry needle point
    simple but so strong

    thank you for joining!
    love
