The last few waning days of the spring semester 2006 at UW-L were spent trying out some suggested experiments in Krishna Reddy's book "Intaglio Simultaneous Color Printmaking." These experiments were concerned with ink viscosity and roller durometer (hardness). The first two plate were aquatinted, and the intaglio color (that which was rolled and wiped into the etch) was printed as a double drop after the two surface colors were printed. The other plate had no aquatint and all colors were printed at the same time.

As usual the final day of class was a very fun and enjoyable time. The students brought "treats" to share and the litho press which served as the serving table was overfilling to other counters. Each student gave a brief talk about their prints, and then it was time to reveal our "secret friends." All in all a great time.

A special moment was when "The Lost" who came to share the day shared with us the special news he has been accepted into grad school in Las Cruces New Mexico where he will join printmaking sister Bonnie Schetsky.
