Earlier this month, I took a weekend workshop in the technique with Penny Barringer of the Torpedo Factory Art League School. Despite what it may look like from these prints, I don’t have a drinking problem. The prints are an homage to two cocktail-loving girls, an inside joke with a dear friend. The cocktail glass is printed on Japanese mulberry paper; the crown, on Japanese paste paper I made many years ago at a Penland class.

Cheers!
