designing plates

After I got done writing last night, I started working on the printing plates I needed fir my class next week.  There are programs I never had used.  There is designing that I am not very good at needing to be done.  And then just the  simple bit of what did I really wish to make within the parameters of the class.  

I am quite pleased with what I came up.  I have been considering the tree for awhile.  I did some playing at work at lunch because I know the programs on the Linux side of the world better then on the PC/Mac side of the world.  I am strange.  I have more things to try now.  More ideas to ponder.  I may need to build myself a press at some point.  Or my friend, who eggs me one, might just find a press I cannot live without and have the money for at the time!  He will just wish to use it though.  He is plotting, I know.
