The prints from the torn paper plate were OK, I can see potential in the textures, perhaps not in this arrangement. Although I have only applied the ink with a roller, rubbing it on/off gives a different effect again.
And I definitely need to practise getting the prints straight on the paper - it is so difficult!
But it was the plate with the textured acrylic paint that I really wanted to try out and I wasn't disappointed!
For this print I applied the ink with a roller and for this I rubbed the ink on with a cloth
But this one is my absolute favourite, again I applied the ink with the cloth, wiping it off in some areas and leaving other areas darker. This definitely has the feel I am looking for and I shall be making more of these plates.
They're beautiful, the last one is my favourite too!
ReplyDeletethey have a really natural feel to them, bet they're even nicer in real life.
ReplyDeleteSo.... what do you do with such pretty prints? I know nothing about the process or the final product. :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are better in real life, it wasn't the best day for photography today!
I am aiming to produce a set of prints for an exhibition in August, these are just test prints on not particularly good paper, I am still learning a lot! The aim is to bind these prints into a little book to show the journey, along with the plates and the photographs here http://thiscraftinglife.blogspot.com/2011/06/experimenting.html
I need to get a move on though!
They're really lovely, and each has it's own charm. I couldn't pick a favorite.
ReplyDeleteThe book will be very interesting, a real proof of your learning.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. Thanks for sharing. Donna
