I&#8217;ve sent exhibition notices and contacted galleries.\u00a0But what about the images; the prints that didn&#8217;t quite make it \u2013 the ones that, whilst being good prints, didn&#8217;t quite fit in with the show&#8217;s theme, or sit well with an adjacent image?<\/p>\n<p>Well, here are a few of them&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2928.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3702\" src=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2928-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Nearly, but not quite: Variation \u2013 collagraph print\" width=\"940\" height=\"705\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This one was a scaled-up version of a variation that was originally printed at 10cm square. It was interesting that the larger version, at around 25cm square, did not work as well. Something about the drama of the mark-making seemed to suit\u00a0the smaller format. Definitely a &#8216;nearly, but not quite&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2893.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3700\" src=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2893-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Crescent Moon Variation \u2013 collagraph print\" width=\"940\" height=\"705\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With this one, I should have known (because I&#8217;ve tried it before), that the ink wouldn&#8217;t get to the edges of the rubber washers. Another example of something looking good on the plate, but not working on paper. Will I try it (and fail) again? Probably.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2915.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3701\" src=\"http:\/\/sinclairashman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_2915-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Crescent Moon Variation II \u2013 collagraph print\" width=\"940\" height=\"705\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I will be using some crescent moons, just not these\u00a0ones.
