| Rolling up penguin beaks |
 |
| close up |
 |
| Setting down the block, I put the paper down first and then the woodblock |
 |
| then I crank the press and the pressure of the roller transfers the ink to the paper. |
 |
| Voila! Orange penguin beaks! |

| This is how I use to dry my woodcuts, but, now I have a fancy drying rack :) |

| Sleeted Chicklets finished! Click to see the piece on my JPOP website. Penguins in Antarctica are having a hard time, with a warmer climate snow is turning into rain. Baby penguins have a soft down coating, snow just falls right off but rain penetrates to their bodies and they freeze to death. A very sad story, but, one worth telling. Everybody loves a penguin! |

ReplyDeleteBeautiful prints + great blog! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachelle! I just poked around on your blog too, love it! California is such a magical state, and, I also love Golly Bard's watercolors.
ReplyDeleteYour works are very nice! I'm a student minoring in relief printmaking and I was curious about your method of laying the paper first on the press then the block. Does this help with registration more than using a board?
ReplyDeleteHi Lauren! Thanks for the message, I find that putting the paper down first does wonders for registration. Try it and see if you like it! Some people choose to use a board or a guide to register and like that method better. Best of luck to you and your carving.
