A week ago today I attended a printmaking workshop run by Michele Wright and Jane Ashdown , at the Porthmeor Printmakers studio above the Penwith Gallery in Back Road West, St Ives. We 'novices' started off experimenting with intaglio techniques, using engraving tools on flexible, glossy faced card. The fine lines in my first attempt below (hmm, pears again) were created using sandpaper whereas the black areas were created by drawing an outline with one of the tools and then tearing away the top layer of card allowing the under layer to absorb a large quantity of ink. See the bird and the solid black contour on the left side of the pear. Yesterday (Friday) I applied finishing touches using pen and ink to create cleaner lines and enhance contrasts.

Because of this I have introduced comment moderation on posts that are over 14 days old and apologise is this causes inconvenience.

Credits: the first article comes from http://stargazing.suite101.com (click the link to view) and the second, which provides a step to step guide to identifying the planet, has been written by Douglas Christian Larsen for Ehow . Also included below are links to some other very informative sites. Enjoy! How to Locate Venus in the Night Sky Contributor By Douglas Christian Larsen , eHow Contributing Writer Article Rating: (1 Ratings) · Locating the planet Venus in the night sky is usually not difficult. Venus is the closest planet to Earth, and it resides between the Earth and the sun. Therefore, after the moon, Venus is the brightest body in the night sky. Known as "the morning star" when seen just before sunrise in the eastern sky and "the evening star" when seen in the western sky at twilight, Venus is most easily seen during its cycles of moving farther ...
