Yesterday I posted about the new monotype I made, based on a drawing from my travel sketchbook. The monotype process produces an unique piece in full colour, but it’s possible to put a second piece of paper (BFK Rives 250 gsm) through the press and take a secondary ‘ghost’ print which is much paler and more ethereal. The prints are taken in sequence, first the Process Yellow, then the Process Magenta and finally the Process Cyan. Some of the Impressionists, notably Degas and Monet, used to use ghost monotypes as the basis for some of their pastel drawings.
I had visitors this afternoon. So I made cake. A classic Victoria Sandwich with my homemade loganberry jam. I grow the loganberries in my garden and on our allotment, I’ve never seen them for sale. Husb is piling into what’s left. He takes no prisoners!


Very good work on all fronts!
Thank you 😀
Print is beautiful-as is the cake!
Thank you, Judith 🙂
Love the ethereal quality of the ghost print!
Thank you so much, Alli 🙂
Your print is beautiful as well. And I would have loved to taste that cake. Never heard about loganberries. But after asking Google now I know how they look at least. 🙂 Have a lovely day!
Thank you. The loganberries are delicious 🙂
Always love the ghost. The cake looks pretty good too! Loganberries mmmm.
Thank you. I love loganberries, one of my favourite fruits 🙂
What a nice cake. It looks so tasty…
Thank you. There’s not much left 😀
Not surprising. I would have eaten it alone 😀
