I had been working on a COLLAGRAPH  image of hares .....But unfortunately im disappointed with the out comes and final results.......when in UCS today and working in the print room finalising the collagraph and adding the final colour I am not happy with it.... I went on to work on an Etching based on some drawings from my sketch book I was able to produce 4 images....... so hoping they will dry in time for friday> I have framed the other two works so they are now compleat.

Finishing Fight for the forest a Book based on the story of Chico Mendes an the struggle of the indigenous people in Brazil to stop deforestation and protect the livelyhood of the Rubber Tappers and the Brasil nut trees......................................DID YOU KNOW?....................that due to the biodiversity of the Brazilian Rainforest it is the only place in the world where Brazil nuts can grow!!???..................a number of years ago an entreprenuer tried to grow nuts on a plantation...the trees grew well they flowered but no nuts were produced.... the facts are not compleatly understood how they are pollinated  but it seems to depend on a combination of  certain bees and orchids that are only found in the Brazilian Rainforest...ref (latin america bereau research action ) Ltd, 1989 translated by Chris Whitehouse add material Tony Gross ed by Duncan Martin.
