Hi, thank you for your help and inspiration. Please can you say why you soaked the paper before printing on it? Did it go into the press wet? I’m going to experiment myself, having found a pasta maker in a charity shop in the UK this week 😃 Really love your gothic style. Many thanks Teresa
Thanks so much, glad it's helpful! You do need to soak the paper for this kind of printing to make it pliable enough. Different kinds of paper will need a different level of water (handmade paper might just need a spray, water colour weight paper a full soak). The water needs to be absorbed off the printing surface though. All the best with your experiments! 😊
Lots of places! A lifetime of finding and experiencing art/music/writing/films I love, stuff that's happening to me, my mood and feelings. If your question is more, how can I find inspiration and ideas to make stuff - I would suggest building a folder/scrapbook/pinterest of things you really really love and admire. And then work to identify common themes, styles and ideas. Mulch it all up combining lots of things to make something totally new 😊
Your prints are wonderful
I have tried Tetra Pak printing. Using a Cuttlebug as a press.
I haven't come across cuttlebugs before - had to Google. They are very cute!
