I cut a little 3"x2.5" all-shina block but, upon proofing it, decided it was a little boring. So I tore it up a bit and mounted the little scrap onto an experimental watercolor I was going to toss. I rather like the results, a little ACEO woodcut/watercolor/collage (below). I still haven't decided how to salvage the 'el coqui' print... probably an exotic paper would improve it.

Corte un bloque all-shina pequenisimo (7cmx6cm) pero, haciendo la prueba, me parecio un poco aburrido. Entonces rompi el papel y lo monte en una acuarela experimental que tenia por alli. Estoy algo contenta con el resultando ACEO grabado de madera/collage/acuarela, tamano 6cmx9cm. Todavia no he decidido que hare con el coqui arriba... quiza con un papel exotico seria mejor. Veremos...
