Still Yet More Studio Business

 This morning I had an email from Molly.  What had happened is yesterday we got a mass email regarding the installation of air conditioners in our windows and permission to do so.  She sent her reply as a "reply all", so I got a copy of her response, and then I got his.  Molly's email gave permission for this, but requested that the air conditioner not go into the window on the right, which right now is the only accessible one.  Her stuff is piled up in front of all the others.  I don't know if it possible to have an air conditioner put in our window (in the past we were told it wasn't) but right now it is impossible to get to the windows anyway, except the one she says no to.   And one of the other windows is still broken on the outside pane, which I reported to the office last year, and I verified the broken pane by going outside, as I couldn't get near it from the inside.  I mentioned all this to Jeanne, and told her I'd send Molly an email reminding her of what she needs to do if she wants an air conditioner put in.  No idea when any of this happens.  

That settled, I wanted to prepare some paper for proofing my new block.  Did that, put the tear bar away, then got on with the coloring.  I pulled my drawing board with the partially colored proofs of St Dwynwen taped to it, and found that the paper above it must have sagged a little, so one of the colors I did last week was now spread into another area. It was a paper colored area, so I couldn't go over it.  That meant this one wasn't usable for the edition or sale.  One was fine, so I colored that one, adding the blue and red necessary.  I went ahead and did both, even though I can't make it part of the edition, it can always be a color example of the print

The one on the right is the better one, which may not be noticeable in this photo.  So I still have one good copy to offer my potential collector if she comes before I have time to print another one.

Meanwhile I had the narrower piece of paper left over from the one I tore earlier, and ink leftover , too, and decided to just pull another copy of that saint.  Unfortunately, the paper shifted as I was printing it, and I know from experience that I can't get it back, so that was the end of that copy.  Too bad, because what I had done was looking pretty good.  That is the problem with there being so much empty paper in that piece.  Wet ink tends to help hold the paper in place, but there is so little ink here.  I'll have to be more careful next time.
