I had the idea to try block printing with the
distorted scrim technique. So first of all I had some fun making the block, I
used Moo carving medium which is easier to use than the thin material which can
be bought. My carving is pretty basic and I have no idea how people manage to
get such intricate patterns, I am sure that like everything else it is probably
down to practise.
I decided to leave the lines in the background of the block which I felt looked like the grasses in the field, and which I could later echo when I machined the scrim.
I tried it out on paper first.
Then I took photos and made some ' app prints ' on the ipad.
To be continued......................................................
Love these prints (and the plate), Jackie!
ReplyDeleteLove some of the ipad manipulations and looking forward to seeing where it goes from here...
ReplyDeleteFabulous, I have the plant on my wallpaper and always find them calming......must try this myself and I agree the background lines add to the whole effect!
ReplyDeleteIt is fascinating reading about your process. I think it came out wonderfully.
