Printmaking #8
Well, after a MONTH of work, here is my finished print of the sleeping bookworm dragon. You can see the three layers below: yellow, then red, then blue, and the finished one is with black.
I had to do extensive masking to make sure the ink hit the right places on these prints, which made it extremely time-intensive. Each print is a little different because of the hand-registration process. Also, because of the paper I was using (really nice rice paper) the colors mix differently on each print.
I had to continually carve into the linolium printing block each week to create these prints, so there are only 12 copies that exist! (and one of them is screwed up) I'm going to give away a few for Christmas presents, but then I might sell the rest... on Ebay? We'll see...
