Here we go again

The new title sort of says why. And it's a new school year, my tenth since I retired. Maybe this is the year I learn persistence. I thought of carrying on with Little Weed but it seemed too much like hard work to remember how I formatted the posts, let alone any of the rest, so I decided to start again and this time maybe not get too fancy.

I have discovered that my laptop has a built in camera.

This is the last of my summer project -a series of prints as suggested by 'Artists & Illustrators' magazine.
I was going to do jugs but thoughts about  Kipling's Elephant's child and Henri Rousseau made me decide to do Sarawak instead.
I'm pretty sure rafflesia do grow in Sarawak though I can't remember seeing one. I wanted a carnivorous plant and pitcher plants were too hard and not colourful enough.
I do remember the gibbons and how one - at the sanctuary - got hold of the skirt of the girl who insisted that there was a proper way to boil eggs and the Malaysians didn't know how to do it. 🙊

I used acrylic paint and System 3 Block printing medium - which gives the paper a bit of a rubbery feel that I don't like, but it is much easier to clean up than the oil based ink I've got and it saves spending money and time looking for colours because I can use the paint I use for painting.
And I have just about got it done! There are 5 pics which fit together to make a 12" x 10" rectangle and separately have made enough notelets to last a life time.
