Week 24 of 52 Week Printing Challenge

BIG FAIL !

I have a very full house this week. The textile room has become a temporary bedroom! This means unfortunately I’m not going to get any printing done this week.

So I thought I’d share some ‘learnings’ with you 😀

1. Glueing a photocopy from an inkjet printer on to Japanese vinyl

doesn’t work. I used matte medium and it pulled the blue layer

off.

Normally I just draw onto the lino or use carbon paper. So a

valuable lesson learnt . See photo one.

2. You can check a linocut print by using graphite or talcum. Here is my graphite rubbing. Because the blue layer of vinyl was pulled off, my incisions are not deep enough.

It was a great idea to do a granite rubbing. It meant that I didn’t waste printing ink and paper.

So, I’ll put the whole exercise done to experience 😀

What creative plans do you have this week?
