dress #10, state 9 (printed december 20, 07)

This is the first of the dresses printed at home, by hand, kneeling on the floor. I only have a few inks at home and didn't have any of the modifiers I like to use, and couldn't get the can of white open (I managed that by the next printing). For these first ones, I printed a red straight out of the can that barely showed up on some of the dresses. some of the dress photos from this period look pretty shabby, as there isn't nearly as much light in my dining room as there is in the studio.

dress #10, state 1

I'm breaking my own rule already, and have more than eight dresses on the go right now (there's one more new one to come tomorrow for a total of eleven, minus dress #1 which has already been retired). This was necessary in part because I'm spending a week visiting home for Thanksgiving and needed to have enough to wear, and because when I return to school I will need to put several dresses in the mail to be photographed for a magazine, and I wasn't going to have enough dresses removed from the project by then. So I've got ten now, and next week I'll retire two or three of them and send those off with dress #1, bringing myself back on track with a week's worth of garments. I agonized a bit about breaking the rules, but really I'm making them up as I go along and can't afford to give up good press for the project in order to stick to rules that right now are still a bit arbitrary. Once I'm settled back at studio next week I'll stick to the eight dresses a week plan, and figure out the easiest way for me to print dresses at home during the midwinter break (about three weeks) so that I don't have to break the rules again.

Another new dress today. The front:
