We started printmaking this week. I made some collagraphs using tissue paper, feathers etc. I also scored and varnished card which was printed. I tried using MDF, lino, and caustic soda on lino. I won't get the finished prints until next week as they still had to dry.
I have been doing some temporary trials for the constructed text brief. I'm enjoying the variety of skills involved, and trying to narrow my final word/words down. Still got lots of things to try before I make a final decision regarding word and materials. At the moment I am favouring connect, cocoon, and abrupt.
My second life brief is coming along. I've decided on placements for my steampunk figure on the base. I have made a wire armature for the figure and cut the base from MDF. My next task is to make and fit all componants to the base before starting the figure. I have loads of scraps of fabric, leather and all sorts of steampunk stuff.
My husband got a bucket of 'rubbish' from a friend who is a plumber. It was so exciting. Wire, shower hoses, copper bends, brass nuts small bits of wire and much more. Oh no, it's not rubbish it's like gold to me!
