Prints in Progress
I'm still printing!
I've printed the disjointed female again. The paper is very thin and dyed with tea. Unfortunately, in the picture, dark marks from the wall that are not on the paper show, so it's not an entirely accurate representation of the print at this stage.
I'm also reworking the parachute and plane imagery, seeing how different color combinations affect the mood and reading of the print. I plan to put a figure in this one as well, but a less defined one, perhaps emphasizing a couple of body parts and merely suggesting the rest of the body... not entirely sure how it will work yet. It may be collaged on rather than printed directly on this matrix. We'll see...
And, I've also created this pattern with a woodcut. I'm experimenting with printing. I plan on "stretching" this thin fabric over a round or elliptical shape to evoke stained glass, and then subtly painting over it to play with the light.
That's all for now. Happy Thanksgiving!

I like seeing this imagry, I'm not convinced about printing over the planes...this one with the clouds feels done to me. I maybe I'm wrong it's hard to judge from the i-net, maybe something subltle in the same color tonal range, i.e. no key block
I really like the idea of stretching...That was alwas my goal for the phenom. tyvek work...good plan, I think it will be to your benefit to check out as many cathedrals as you can for inspiration...there's plenty of them around! Same with the tea one...subtlety is grand...leave it and print another...(in my humble opinion)
P.S. Where did you ever get such a good idea to dye paper with tea???
:-)
Happy Thanksgiving Jacquie
