making collagraph print plates

Hi

Here I am working on a collagraph printing plate, cutting and making marks and patterns.

The next step is to varnish it before the first print.
It takes a few steps to make a print plate, so I hope it will be fine.

I'll put it on my art site when I'm done, hopefully.

here is a print with leaves, it has to be framed later on.

ATC cards, making and collecting

hi.

Do you know ATC cards ?

Artist trading cards (or ATCs for short) are small, baseball-card sized works of art that can be traded with other artists as a way to get creative, connect with other artists, make contacts, and collect great art!

I love that idee, and make and collect myself.

Some cards is called ACEO, ACEO stands for Art Card Originals and Editions.

They are cousins of ATC's , both are by definition cards of artwork measuring

2.5 x 3.5 inches, make ACEO cards as well.

here is some sambles:

its really fun to have a great art collection in a shoebox :)

I'm pretty excited about the process of combining paint and printing, I think I can get pretty interesting results this way.

Here is a new one, more to follow soon.

hi.

Now I jumped into teaching myself to make collagraf printing ;)

First I made a small printplate, practice, practice, practice ...

So I made the first print on a collage I had lying around, it is quite ok I think.

I will work more on this type of work, it's exciting.

hope you like it, you can give it a try :)
