Silkscreen

Aaaaand we're back :( Waah I miss those two weeks. But on the bright side we're back in print and into silkscreen :) We still have the same brief of 'Notions of Identity' so I was working on some ideas for that to do with silkscreen.

Collagraph is over!

Now collagraph is over.. :( I really enjoyed it I have to say. My favourite piece of art I made has to be the black and grey elephant :) Now we have two weeks holidays and straight into silkscreen when we're back.

The last few of my prints.

These are just the rest of my collagraph prints I did. :)
My favourite ones are the elephant ones :) I'm really happy with how they turned out!

More prints!

The next few prints were of the heart board I made! I made another board as well so I could combine the two!

Finally started printing.

So I finally started printing this week! I really didn't know it would take so long to make the boards. So here are the prints I ended up with :) some worked.. some didn't :/

 

 

I'm just glad these ones were just for experimenting. :P

More ideas.

I kind of started to lean away from the whole characteristics idea and wanted to start making boards on things I like! I have to say I love elephants and cup cakes. Weird combination but that's why I wanted to use them I was hoping it would be different to every one else! I also LOVE my animals at home! So I made some boards of cupcakes and elephants (not together although I did think about it) and one of my cat and dog :D

Ideas.

I did some random boards just to get a feel for what worked and what didn't. Just to have some fun before I began my actually boards.

 I was a bit stuck for ideas at the beginning but now I have some. I'm thinking of doing some stuff on my characteristics, as in big-hearted, talkative, funny, blah blah blah! So I made a 'big hearted' collagraph board and I used paint as the material to make the heart because as well as print I also love painting! So I left some obvious brush strokes on the heart.
