new mould & deckles

have spent today making new mould and deckles for my paper making , old ones looked a little worse for wear,at the moment they are sitting in the sun with the final coat of shellac drying and tomorrow will staple the mesh covering,think i may make some smaller ones as well….have sorted out my filing cabinets and it is all looking and feeling very organized…willsand my work bench in the morning as it is covered with a combination of wax, ink,shellac and linseed oil, not good for my beautiful printmaking paper………all is mellow here, my little man is asleep, my eldest son is completing a snake tank that he has made for his soon to arrive new snake (darwin carpet python), and partner weilding together the new ferret cage as the female has quite a few new babies..me, im about to finish this post ,pour another glass of red, and sit outside in the garden while the bbq cooks..im sure my little man will be awake by then and will probably go for a swim…more later…………….
