I tackled some new print experiments today and decided to make things a little more interesting by adding some deep blue and yellow to my range of speedball inks. With pretty much every colour in the rainbow at my disposal, I was able to create some interesting gradients.
I even tackled the dreaded rose print again (which officially makes me a stamping masochist) and I liked how the print looked when I took the time place the images evenly. A bit wallpaper-ish maybe, but I think there's more potential there.
Also on deck, my much underused Chrysler Building stamp. It doesn't work well as a repeating stamp, but I thought I would play with it a bit anyway... if only because I should use it more often than I do.
I also made a couple of measured typewriter and disc stamp prints in all black, leaving me with about five polished prints and a bunch of ideas to pursue again tomorrow. I just need to figure out all of the rest of the details that go along with pricing and packaging them. Definitely not a job for Saturday night.

I really like the rainbown gradients. I think the ampersand one will look great hanging against a freshly painted white wall. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI think it's time to get some rollers!
ReplyDeleteI personally think that the Chrysler building would make for good wallpaper, mostly because it looks like a wicked set of teeth...
ReplyDeleteI was actually getting a bit of a zipper vibe, but I totally see the teeth now. I'm still convinced that there's a way to make a good print out of this stamp, despite the gaping dino-teeth look of present.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can see zipper too. Although now I'm also seeing the buildings as the tips of pens (or perhaps lino-block gougers). At any rate, it makes for a good Rorschach test...
ReplyDeleteLove the colour gradient pictures! I would be happy to take donations for my bare apartment walls!
