More Dragons

 Although I finished it before Christmas I realised that I hadn’t photographed the finished dragon book. 

 The collagraph plate made 2 lots of separate heads, tails, and bodies facing in opposite directions. I used the Paul Johnson hinge method of attaching the pieces together. It may be a fiddly way of making what is essentially an accordion book but it means that there are no folds which can wear over time.

Here be dragons

 NWBA have managed to start meeting in person recently. Which meant that we could get together all the bits for out collaborative book on Magellan's journey. So for the past couple of weeks I've been pinning bits together and doing more monoprints of sea.

 
I also got to Hot Bed to print the dragon plate I made during lockdown. Some of the glues haven't aged well so I only got 6 prints 
 

But this has given me 12 sets of dragon pieces for a slot and tab structure.
