It seems I'm not done with the phone painting yet.
I've been playing with a new gel plate, making tons of prints since apparently that's the best way to break it in. I really like using translucent papers, and liked the orange pattern I got on top of one. I thought it might be worth testing out an image transfer over a gel plate piece. I used a printout of a photo of the phone painting for the image transfer, which seemed to work fine.
Then it was just a matter of cutting up some other prints from the gel plate, and adding some text. I also have a small phone book from 1960, and used some of that in the upper left corner.
The whole thing is mounted on a 9x12" piece of watercolor paper. Just playing. Thanks for looking!
