Pepper post part 4

15 January 2014

The Pepper Adventures continue. 


Dog for packaging being pressed into good use with a bit of funky foam. 


The resulting print. Not bad. 


Bit of added colour using Ink Tense pencils.  Think I prefer the simple black on this background ( you'll note that I am still using the old paper back book to great effect). 


And two more print blocks ( I cut the funky foam with scissors and sometimes a craft knife and stick it onto the card with PVA.  Some people use that mounting block stuff that framers use, but I must admit I find card works just fine). 



Hmm - not so sure about these. 

Now today I have the pleasure of doing a bit of online shopping at  http://www.handprinted.net.  I will report back with my purchases.

    Very effective and look like peppers! I doubt mine would if I made some stamps.

      You know I am sure they would. Look for simple images to assist when I am uncertain of the shape and form.

    I am not sure how I will use them though - well not yet any way ( but you can never have too many of these stamps)

    There is nothing quite like a bit of funky foam for quick print blocks. Love the shapes in the top block on its doggy ground ...

      Borrow any of my ideas for inspiration if you wish. I will try to assemble a photo of them all for you. I ought to do a little video of how to make them.
