To-day's word is print. As an artist, my mind instantly went to printing as in mono-printing or printing with a screen but l thought that was so obvious, that l started to think on other lines or l tried to. I thought about being "in print" or "out of print" when talking about books. Then my mind turned to prints as in finger prints and printer ink, didn't seen to be get away from print as in printing. Making marks on material or paper and many other materials. Photographic prints and printing as in designing. Anyway after failing to get away from print as in ink and paint ect, l thought l would go and check what the dictionary said, to try and get my little grey cells working! The only thing l got from that was, "being printed on her memory"..not that useful. So armed with my ideas, l set of to go to Putney to go by train to Central London. I walked all the way down to the Green Man pub, still without any more ideras. Then as l got to my bus stop, there was my image......Animal prints! Thought this lady looked great. I know it is thought rude to take someone's image without their permission but...l like living dangerously!
