Yesterday morning I met with the Australian Print Workshop's Simon White to check the proof he had made of Jewel Beetle
Woman (pictured above).
Overall, we were both pleased with the result, but
were concerned that once editioning was under way, some
of the finer lines might begin to fill in. Over the next couple of hours, I
reworked the areas in question and Simon made a number of trial proofs until we
arrived at a B.A.T. (bon a tirer, or "good to go": the last proof to be checked before approval for editioning). Signing
it off was an enormously satisfying moment.
