But first... a disclaimer!
One of the benefits of dealing personally with your printer, rather than doing business with some big company (not only are you helping another individual out, which is nice!) was that I was allowed to keep any of the "mistakes". Rather than getting torn up and trashed, these little mishaps can find happy new homes as give-aways, prizes, presents, and bonus inclusions.
I hate seeing things get wasted, and the "mistake" editions have a beauty of their own, a freshness and alternative charm. They're actually less intense, and appear "fresh" because of the brighter colours.

(top print = "mistake")
so this calls for.....
a little give away!!!
from now until next Saturday (November 13th) leave a comment here about which of the ten prints is your favourite (you can see them in my etsy gallery) and why.
Let me know which one of these artworks you like the best and why, and in return for your valued feedback and thoughts, I will give out two prints as a thank you!
The first ten Giclee prints that sell in my shop will also get one of these bonus prints included as a thank you!

I want to stress that these "mistake" prints are not the same quality as the prints for sale in my Etsy Shop.
The printer had a malfunction and printed out two entire editions without blue ink.
(( I actually quite liked the result: vibrant, fluorescent, sun-saturated. ))
There is nothing wrong with their physical quality or archival properties, they are just visibly differently coloured from my originals. (see additional photographs)
