| print by Cecilia Hedin |
A few weeks ago, a friend emailed me forwarding a request to reprint a postcard-sized print. I love printing postcards and I love helping someone make something silly and special they love.

| drawing on film by Cecilia Hedin |
|
Cecilia Hedin is a designer with drawing skills. She drew the image of the Chickenoseros directly onto film, which I then made into a plastic plate. To draw onto film, you have to use something sharo to scrape away the emulsion. And there is no erasing. It is similar to etching but using a plastic film and then photosenstive material instead of metal, wax and acid.

With the plate made and the paper having arrived from the east coast, I set up the press. I printed both her image and the text (in fluorescent red!) but you will have to wait until I deliver them to her tomorrow to see the final print. Hopefully it looks close to
her orginal.
