The lesson for printmaking this week was around chine colle and how that technique could be incorporated into our prints. The idea of adding layers to prints have given me a bunch of ideas to mull over and decide how I could use the technique next week. While I was doing some basic experimentation with chine colle, I also decided to experiment with printing using other objects including some old paper and stencils as a was of adding layers and depth.

My actual printing was pretty simple – two colours; incorporating circles, squares and dots. I chose to work reasonably big again. (Well ok, the overall size of the print was maybe 50cm x 50cm … for me that is an enormous scale to work in!)

I really am enjoying printmaking. It is an intriguing way to work – layer on layer. It definitely appeals to my sense of order and logic 🙂
