I'm really annoyed with myself for ignoring the golden rule of 'measure twice, cut once' while trimming down my 'Gray Scale' challenge piece for International Threads. Instead of being 40 x 80 cm it is 38 x 80 and that missing 2m on the RH side would have made all the difference.
When I was on the Human Marks workshop with Dorothy Caldwell in Puglia, I took a photo of my index finger stained and ingrained with Indian ink after a morning of making fingerprint marks.
I manipulated the photo in Photoshop, dividing it into 6 overlapping sections, and printed it out on a commercial batik (with marks that reminded me of my fingerprints) treated with bubblejet set.

Did it have to be exactly that size?
BTW, I've sent you an e mail, but I don't know if you still have the same e mail address. Mine hasn't changed (yet).
