Re-printing the Notre Dame

Went back into the print rooms, determined to get a good print this time!
Shame I completely forgot my camera but oh well.
Luckily they had not removed my screen of the Notre Dame I had made from before so I used that again.
Made two more screens this time- both A2 to fit under my drawing of the Notre Dame.
One was just a block outline of the building, with a hole left from the middle for the centre circle window.
Excuse my very crude drawings..but this is what one screen looked like:
 
And this was the second:
 
I printed the first screen in dark blue then tried to line the drawing up to print over the top in lighter blue.
I did not manage to line the two colours up so in my prints there are a few white lines around the building which I actually really like.
I then printed the Notre Dame screen in black over the top.
The process was quite long at first- making the two extra screens to print- but when I started printing I found that I was really enjoying the pace of work.
This is one of the final pieces I printed:
I am really pleased with the way this print has come out. I love the quality of the lines the printing gives and by using the different screens, feel like I have tried something new in the print rooms.
