Making Prints

by Amanda, posted in 2010 Artwork, Art, Art Prints, Block Print / Lino Cut, My Creations, Uncategorized

Originally, I had planned to work on these prints yesterday; however, I ended up not having time.

Since I plan and play around with colors ’til I find what I like, I only did a limited run of prints, only 5 of each.

Each print is done on nice, thick, off-white watercolor paper, and I deckled the edges for a decorative finish.

For now, I have to wait until they’re  thoroughly dry.

If I like how they turn out, then I’ll print some more.

You may (if you’re observant) notice that the prints are the tiniest bit different from the ones posted in my block print gallery; that’s because I touched them up a bit to sharpen the images before I printed them.

Well, I suppose I should go find something else to occupy my time while I watch ink dry :).

Cheers,

Amanda

Betta Art

As you may or may not know by following my other blog, I took a Lino cut block printing class back in January.

Since then, I’ve been searching for ideas of things to carve/print.

My most recent inspiration came from Yuki, my old Betta may he rest in peace.

Since I’ve  always loved how finny Siamese fish are, I thought it would make for some fun carving.

So here is the finished product

I plan on printing it on watercolor paper later on and coloring it up.

I’ll re-post when I’m done.

Cheers,

Amanda
