Bucks Arts Weeks, formerly Bucks Open Studios, is nearly upon us.
So, I need to crack on in the studio.
Time to break out the print plate ( I bit of acrylic sheet - I have no idea where I got it! I might have hoiked it out of a bin somewhere!)
But I have rigged up a drying rack in the studio - a bit of string and a few pegs. Low tech but very effective.
I print onto tissue paper, then then I stick the tissue onto rag paper, hand colour and stitch.
Here, I added a bit of additional collage from my paper stash.
And stitching brings the whole thing to life.
That's very clever, the printing on tissue and mounting on rag before stitching. I would not have guessed that. Quick (relatively) and lovely result.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I always use mono print. I haven't found an other paper that gives me the variation in background shadowing I like so much. One day I'll treat myself to a course on mono printing and see what techniques others use, but for now this is my 'signature' approach, if you will.
DeleteGreat technique! x
ReplyDeleteThanks - love the effect and I so love mono -printing. Such a forgiving technique.
