The Games we Play.

I have written and printed words to go with the six paper-and-pencil game etchings. I have printed the six (as well as the two text plates) on my own handmade paper.

I haven't quite decided on the binding method and cover though ... but you will see it all in due course!

Rumours III (dry point etching).
