sixth sense; all together now

I thought I had printing ink at home but It was just apple green and gold, not what I was looking for but I used it. I used the mylar, cardboard, tape , tacky glue, yupo, newsprint, tarlaton, DW40, blue paint stick, acrylic paint; brick red and burnt umber, a large spoon and the sunday news paper.

I really liked the plate:

but the image was too green. I added the blue paint stick mixed with the DW40 and it was still too bright!

So I did a mono print on top with the red and umber. It gave it some weight and pulled the image together adding the swirl of energy I was trying to show.

I tried the spoon for rubbing but I just didnt have enough power in my hands to push down hard enough to get a good rubbing.
