Work in progress
I’ve made a good screen, although I thought I hadn’t at first because the ink didn’t want to come through the outline font at the top. Thanks to @petermakesprints for the induction, @KPJ for opening the space today and being unofficial printing expert for me and my fellow new inductee @electriclouisa .
Now I need to improve my tea-towel printing technique (photo below) as I’ve a bit of double-vision going on from a misprint earlier.
I washed out the screen and hope to try again tomorrow.

An email from the Internet Archive put me on to this amazing book of puns…
Moss or Albatross?
Whether botanist or birdwatcher (or neither for that matter), you may enjoy this book of poems from 1907. In How to tell the birds from the flowers: A manual of flornithology for beginners , Robert Williams Wood muses on how different bird species differ from plants with similar names. Comparisons include the quail and kale, pecans and toucans and much more. (Be sure to read the author’s apology at the end of the book for a bonus rhyme!)
