skull problem

I've been having a bit of trouble with my skull prints... They're etchings, and to print etchings the paper must be soaked. But paper, when soaked tends to stretch and shrink, which, to my dismay, doesn't go well at all with the precise measurements associated with concertina books...


So after spending the morning printing 5 strips of eight plates I found the next day they were about 2cm shorter and the pages wouldn't line up at all. That's the way to learn I suppose, it seems to be the way I'm learning at the moment at least... So. Onto plan B.


Individual sewn pages?
On a concertina spine?
French folded?

I wish there were more hours in the day!

aghhghhgh!

Well today I got a phone call from one of the people who interviewed me for the job last week. But I missed the call because I was at work. Today I had to work late (and minuting meetings is really not my idea of a fun afternoon!) so when I tried to call back she had just gone home. And now I have to wait until tomorrow to find out what she wanted to say! I mean I know I am trying to be patient, but aghhgh!! So, fingers crossed, tomorrows the day...


This chicken is not impressed...
