Greetings on this humid and showery day! It's been very rainy this month, and I'm looking forward to some sequential days of sunshine. Unfortunately, the extended forecast looks like more unsettled weather ahead.
I'm working on a new idea for a block print that incorporates my fascination with rocks and the seashore. This time I'm going for a close up of some colorful textured stones. I'd like to keep the colors more pure as I add the layers, so I'm experimenting with stencils for the initial colors.
Two of the shells are real (not part of the photo)
Sharpie marker over pencil on a 6" x 8" Soft-Kut block
Tracing paper stencil
Layer 1 printed using stencil (some of the marker lines show up in the first prints)
This is what the plate looks like now. I still have a few more to print of layer 1, as this will be an edition of 16.
No matter the weather, best wishes for a great weekend!
Jane
