I made 5 separate print blocks using craft foam. First of all I created a colour design on paper- you might recognize the final print image from the the post on repeat patterns. In that post where I shared an image of 9 quick sketches. I based this print image on the little sketch on the top right hand corner of the grid.
It took a bit of concentration to cut and paste the various pieces of the jigsaw puzzle onto the various bits of card.
And then I printed! With much trepidation, block at a time, I carefully placed the blocks, and it worked!! After each different block I got more excited as the pattern emerged. (for this I used a liquid acrylic paint).
I am feeling rather chuffed with this!
Looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt does. It took a bit of brain power, but the final outcome was definitely worth it. H
DeleteV ery nice! I was wondering where you were going with that, when I saw the first couple of pics
ReplyDeletethanks for your comment Carrie. I have to decide how to take this forward - if indeed I want to. I was going to do some more printing this evening, but I got a bit side tracked with dyeing and colouring some papers. I'll try to do some more printing over the weekend.
DeleteGood work well documented H
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more samples :)

Hoping for a bit of time off from gardening this weekend. It's a Hampshire weekend - I am heading off early Saturday but I will take all my art stuff with me.
