Fulmer Update 3/18/12


So this past week and weekend has been very productive. The wallpaper blocks were finished and shellaced in the begin
ning of the week.













Got all the wallpaper and the background to the prints printed thanks to help form a junior. The wallpaper is printed on white butcher paper and the backgrounds for the actual prints are on mulberry.









Here is an image of the final color. It's a bit hard to see but compared to my wheatpaste test next to it the blue is grayer. The wheatpaste test was done with one of the first proofs and are on butcher paper and it worked very successfully and after a week of being up it hasn't pealed or bubbled.














Goals for this week are to finished all the blocks and have them shellaced and ready to print

Hours log:
-Printing: 12+ hours
-Carving: 12+ hours
-Wheatpaste tests: 3 hours
-Setup/shellac: 10+ hours
