My little press and I have been busy experimenting with dry point. I'm still using perspex as a plate but I now have an dry point tool which is much easier on the hands than my old compass. I am rather pleased with these three variations and the different qualities that you can get just by changing an aspect of the printing process or working into the prints after. All three of these pine cones are available in my Etsy store here.
Below is the plate and dry point tool.
J'adore la première !!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful results! So glad to hear about your new adventures, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful, but the first one is stunning! I don't understand much of your dry point technique, but the results are great!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your work, and these cones are especially wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBonjour Lydie, et merci :o)
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, thank you. They have been real adventures too, lots of twists and turns in the road but very exciting!
Hi Judy, thank you to you and happy bloggerversary. I think the best way to describe drypoint is that it is etching without the acid. I still find results a little unpredictable but I am slowly getting there.
Hello Chris and welcome. Thank you for visiting and taking time to comment, much appreciated. I took a quick peek at your blog and your batik technique looks fascinating. I will be back for a more in depth read soon. Best wishes.
These are great, I really like the top one with that burnt orange/gold coloring!! I imagine this takes a LOT of work and pressure - I have never tried it.
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda, thank you. It has taken quite a long time to ink up the plate each time with these because of the detail. Wiping the detail and highlights has been the trickiest bit but I think I have found a method now... The little press is doing well pressure wise, better than I expected especially as the cupboard it is bolted to is now screwed into the wall too ;o)
