Valentine's Day, couple print "November"

I've been sneezing all day, which either means the snow is melting and I'm allergic to what was underneath OR I'm allergic to Valentine's day.  ...or a cold.  Luckily, Matt and I already celebrated yesterday by going ice skating and record shopping.  I fell on the ice and bruised my knee, how romantic!

I did this print titled "November" of Matt and I when I went to Frogman's Print & Paper Workshop this summer.  I stayed there for a week and did nothing but print and party.  It was the greatest time ever, I feel like I got some great work out of it.  I'd recommend every printmaker go at least once.  I'd love to go again when I can afford it.

1st print this semester and a betta fish


My theme for work this semester in both painting and printmaking is friends & family, and I feel like this is my one of my favorite prints that I've done so far.  There's a ton of things I could have done better and there's most definitely room for improvement, but I love the colors and I'm mostly happy with the way it turned out.  I did three prints on fabric and embroidered one of them, which I haven't photographed yet.
I have an edition of 5 prints and some artist proofs, most of which I'll be selling on Etsy as soon as I set everything up. 
Here's a bunch of photos of my printing process and one of the betta fish I got for Matt as a Valentine's day gift.  He named it Mani, which is supposedly Thai for "gem."
