"The Ghost of Mrs. Schmidt" is the title of these prints. First I made some plates from the materials in our packet, string, glue and masking tape. Then I got some printers ink and inked them. I soaked the rives paper in the bathtub and used my car as the press. It was pretty funny! They didn't come out as well as the ones we did in class but I was beginning to get the hang of using my car by the third one. They are not quite straight but I think a few more and I might get it right. It takes a sixth sense to sense a ghost and the story of Mrs. Schmidt made my hair stand up. I'll tell it the next time the group is all together! Note to Andrea: I thought of using a Walmart shopping cart but couldn't get one!

You are a hoot! So inspiring, I hope you have photo documentation of your process. That's as intriguing as the prints.Earthy!
