My Lino and Dry Point Prints

 

These prints were made using a brief of 'view from my window' 

there had to be two different designs for each type of printmaking

the lino print had to be quite bold with interesting shapes, so literally the view

to the back-garden from my window was interesting enough to create definition and striking lines/shapes

the second image was for my dry point print, very similar to an etching, we scratched onto 

acetate and from that continued the printing process.

Both outcomes I feel have worked well, I especially love the ghostly blue Lino Print.

My Flock, Foil & Metallic Binder Prints

Using 'My Owls' design I created these different prints using: Coloured Foils, Flock and Metallic Binders.

Some have been trial and error but it just shows what you can do with these prints.

The first is a mixture of flock and foil on brown paper, I used two different coloured foils but one of the colours didn't show up as nicely as it had done in it's original state. The next is two coloured foil print on fabric which turned out really nicely. The last was originally a one coloured foil print but was quite faint so I overlapped it with a silver metallic binder, giving it a an interesting outcome. The last is a simple metallic binder print, it has a very similar printing technique as a screen print.

My Ghost Story

Some say we become ethereal spirits.
Others believe we go to heaven or hell.
I say we become the animal that most reflected us in our past lives...

...She lounges by her Grave and keeps watch.
Her rich umber hair tumbling in the wind,
now lost from this world,
midnight blue eyes looking as if searching the horizon, it makes no difference.

All you can see of her now is the Dark, Lone,
Raven.

small story by me ^-^
