Chine-collé
First I did a test print of the little plate to see if it still needed work, but I thought it was fine for something that took about an hour to do. and yes, those are marks on the bottom from gloves, I like them tho. Looks like little aliens.
And added a small piece of tissue paper to an area and ran the plate through the press again. I really like how this technique adds colour, but you still see the etched lines, and I wish I had of done a bigger area and a few more colours. But now that I know how it works and how easy it is to actually do, I will def. being adding colour to prints in the future.
I want to try that....
ReplyDeleteits great, and easy to do once you get the placement of the tissue right :)
DeleteOkay, I'm trying to catch up on your work. You have branched out even further in your art Jen. Is this a lino carving? And you used that Chine-Colle technique to it???

its a dry point etching and with the tissue paper adding during making the print. you can use the same technique with lino, but haven't tried it yet
