Printing Silkmoths

I've been trying out Japanese vinyl in printmaking, I had the idea to print some silkmoths after finding an old book of mine "Rearing Wild Silkmoths"

I cut out four silkmoths, due to the thinness of the vinyl, I can cut out individual shapes rather than sticking to a square format.
Here is my test print, after which I did a little more cutting to neaten it up.

Some more formal compositions, the rightmost print is on a fibrous Japanese paper who's name eludes me. 
Repeated print on Gampi paper. 

Repeating a single moth, three dark prints and five faded prints on Gampi.

Next I will try cutting out and chine-collé.
