This piece of Japanese paper is really delicate, it also has quite a bit of lines of fiber
in the piece of paper itself. So to help make sure that my brayer or my wooden spoon isn't
going to tear the print when I'm exhorting pressure on it, I'm going to use this piece
of tracing paper to help glide that over the top of the paper. Now you can already see
that it is- the paper is absorbing some of the ink already even just from my hand. Next,
I'm going to use the spinner, to sort of give my initial pressure. This is going to be the
quickest way for me to get pressure on the large area of my block, but it's not going
to give me that deep of an impression. So this is my first step in hand printing.
