In my studio last month I explored printing with some plants from my garden - a perennial silver bush (unable to be identified) and the flower heads from my Italian Parsley. It wasn't a complex printing session, but just a relaxing exploration of a couple of plants I wanted to try before I did some garden trimming. The flower heads were rather thick and juicy, so I first ran one through the press with butchers paper to get rid of some of the excess moisture. I then printed with it - the first print is show below. The green colour is actually from the plant not from ink, it still had plenty of liquid, staining the paper. The first print The second print (the ghost print) captured the delicate structure of the flower head. As the plant was so fresh, it fell apart as I removed it from the plate. I had to use the tweezers to methodically pick off the individual soft seeds that stuck to the plate....a zen moment requiring much care and patience! The second print The third print was used as a base for another print, using a paper mask to highlight the flower head image, which was much fainter at this stage. The third print

Yesterday I was playing around with my little wren stencil, this time printing on postcard sized papers. Simple and fun to print, these wren monoprints will make great Christmas presents and stock for my outlets. I used four colours - black, aqua, brown, and dark purple. The process of printing the monotypes mixes these colours to create hybrids and plenty of interest. Some of the printmaking papers I used were beige coloured which also tones the ink colours in the print. All papers were soaked for 10 seconds and worked with damp. When I have a printing session, I like to stick with the same colours and objects for the whole day. I just play around with composition and the order of colours, letting the objects and plate mix the ink to create complexity of marks and colour. That's where the magic happens, even in something as simple as this wren series. Some of these wren prints will be framed in cute aqua frames I found at a home decorating store, others in basic beige frames. I bought the frames first, then sized the print papers to fit. I find that's the most economical way to work as framing can be so expensive. An afternoon of printing...lots of little wren prints One of my favourites... I love the whispy effect of the Kangaroo Grass This one is pretty interesting too.... One of the first prints, not as much detail, but a greater intensity of colour This one will need more work - I think the wren blends into the background too much. When the print is dry, I'll use a fine coloured marker to trace around the wren to bring him back into focus.
I tried a different way of selecting a color palette for the Pickle Dish/Mariner's compass quilt. It was a technique recommended by Jean We...

Light & Ink-nettiputiikista löytyy kauniita painokuvia kantojen pinnoista. Tuumailin vain, että kyllähän näitä saisi itsekin väsättyä.
