Solid Prints #2

The ones showing an outline are prints from the thinner swatches in print #1
I began solid prints #2 today and I think I'll leave them even longer this time, perhaps 9 days.  I put them in extra wet this time and arranged them so all the fine swatches were placed on one side of the table and the thick ones on the other.  I think having the thick ones beside the thin ones didn't allow for enough pressure on the thin ones, creating mostly an outline of the thinner ones. 

I also think the madder and cochineal may not have many more prints in them, if even a second one.  We'll see next week.

osage, brazilwood. and logwood had the highest saturation of colour
today I took the first prints out and they look great.  I'm really happy with the results.   All the details to come in another post.
