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

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.

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

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

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!

Best

aha it works now :)

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

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
Patrice A.
