Mono-Prints
Things I found interesting:
- Working with texture e.g. mesh material
- Having more confidence to work with stencils and be more experimentive
- Using different tools to create more diverse line texture
- Realising that the print comes out backwards!
Things I found difficult:
- I had a go at making a two-tone print by removing the stencils and placing them on the original print again; but this didn't work out too well. Maybe it would work better next time if I used two different colours.
Lino Prints
(I did have another print but it seems to have gone missing!)
- Using the lino print on different backgrounds; I printed onto my failed two-tone mono print and the outcome looks really effective, although I accidentally printed upside down...
- The actual process of lino cutting and the different tools you can use to vary the line density
Things I found difficult:
- Having to flip the letters over so that they do not print backwards
- Line precision; especially when cutting out something so intricate. I have always struggled with working out the positive and negative modes of print too, but I learnt today that the areas cut away will be negative (same colour as stock)
