candy cane screen print

I made this little stencil to make some gift tags for Christmas presents, each print was pretty messy and then I managed to break the stencil, even though it was acetate :| I'll probably make some more detailed better ones tomorrow, even though I've got loads of college work!

screen print

my first screen prints done with my home made screen :) 

-made a drying line across my bay window aha

my cobweb felt embellishment

Using my dry point print I made a practice flip book. I scanned a black print in and printed it out 30 times, using water colours I painted on top of them and used the colours to create the flip book.

Lino prints

 This is my lino print of dandelion seeds.

 Here I've printed it in a lime green and placed tracing paper on top, using mono paper I drew some dandelions on it.

This is another lino print I did, again in lime green- it's a simple dandelion.

 For this sample I placed tracing paper on top and drew some little seeds in black fine liner on top.

For this outcome I again placed tracing paper on top and drew round the lino print dandelion and added some more seeds.

[I place tracing paper on top of the lino prints as the ink I print with doesn't give you a nice or clear enough outcome when drawn on :)]

Brusho

just turquoise, purple and red Brusho on paper, sprayed with a water gun

 [Previous Brusho] scanned and blown up to A3, then I placed tracing paper on top and used a black fine liner to draw some dandelion seed heads.

 

Brown, green and turquoise Brusho, again I placed tracing paper on top and using carbon paper drew a dandelion on top.

dry point print

My dry point print of a dandelion head- my current art assignment is magnified images, I chose to work with dandelions and dandelion seeds. Here are a few of my print outcomes-

added mirror detail

some of my digital samples from college

idea inspired by 'wreck this journal'

This is a technique I learned at college, first you get some thick paper wet, then drop ink on to it, while it's wet place clingfilm on top and create a pattern or image in it. Once it's dry peel the clingfilm off and you get left with a really nice outcome :)

a few old sketches :)
