Finally.

Finally finally finally done with this project.

Yuli and I started around 9am and finished by lunch time. I didn't have any major problems. Not like Yuli has been having anyway. I decided to go with the black because it was easier. I printed with Charbonnel Noir A Monter ink which is the greasiest stuff we have. I just had some registration issues but at this point I didn't really care. I just wanted to have it done. (Yeah, now that's how a professional printer talks, right?)

I'm putting some pictures of the final printing behind the cut. Sorry for the blurry... but I was in a hurry.

And yes... my hair is getting crazier and crazier as this project goes on! Look at it!

We've started preparing our stones for the next project and will be getting demos from Bill tomorrow morning.

Also, my left wrist hurts.
