Heat,moisture and pressure.

To streighten out buckled paper I am testing a system using heat and pressure.

I am using a cooking-plate, two glassplates and some heavy weight.

If this works,I will make a system with metalplates and set it up a more permanent .

I hope with this to avoid using stacks, and a lot of changing paper over several days.

I haver never found a satisfactory system, often the prints buckles up again after even several days.I hope the heat forces the moisture out faster, preferably during one day.

Tidying up?

I spend my days now making small systems for my studio.

I have trouble getting rid of things ,and at the same time documenting

things just to remember.

There just is not room enough for all the projects I do.

I guess this is familiar for most people, but I have a tendency to let things go into chaos before I do something.

So, more folders,boxes and so on.

At the same time I just make small drypoints every day, combining my elements as usual.

I am making a Log-book with all my experiments and finished works, to have an overv iew

over all my efforts.Not so many finished things as I thought, but then I know.

The need to remember things is big, but all the same I need to get things out of the way.So I document, and throw away.Many garbage-bags so far.
