Printmaking: Paste Papers=Patience

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The paste papers we made turned out pretty awesome! The inks themselves dried out to be a lot lighter in value than I thought they’d be, and of course all the papers were either wrinkled or curled up towards the ends.

Our class split into two groups: One half went with Anne to witness her demo on screenprinting, while the other half could iron over their papers to press them flat and make more patterns. So I took these photos with my phone, and them ironed.

My color palette carried alot of blues, greens, and purples, so my papers wound up looking very “aquatic”…I was satisfied with the results, although waiting for the iron to be available was a pain in the neck.
