Also Christmas card shenanigans.
some of these could make amazing stained glass pieces.
a little composition of things that will become other things.
from my studio to yours… thanks for your art.
Doing a selfie portrait most days in 2024 for a whole heap of reasons, happy with this one for a change:
Colours are wonderfully vibrant in the flesh but you’ll have to take my word for it as I haven’t got my head round how to best digitise watercolour.
Awesome!!
Beautiful!
What material do you engrave?
Thanks! I think it came with the lino cutting kit I bought (the cheapest one from Essdee) and it came with two bits of softer stuff. I think it is called “soft cut” or something.
Wow! Always loved lino cut pictures since a fascination with Escher as a teenager. Never actually thought it was something I could get stuck into, will be ordering a kit!
Definitely do! It takes less time than you’d think. It is a fun way to spend a morning. I think it is quite an accessible way to make art for all levels.
Plus it requires looking at things in a different way to drawing (at least for me) which is interesting/frustrating/exciting when it comes to the printing part!
I made a few attempts years ago, it’s great.
I would like to do it again. Isn’t it annoying to have to change the tools?
There may be kits or each shape has its own handle.
I would be curious to test with a “Dremel”, It could do interresting textures.
Here, “Dremel” on the flat side of a Fresnel lens (of an overhead projector).
Fun to project with.
Honestly I don’t think this is too much hassle. But the pieces are small-A5 or smaller. And considering which cutting tool gauge to use where/when is kind of a nice part of the planning process to break down the artwork into manageable stages.
Lovely lens!!!
Thanks a bunch!
The little one is a gift for someone, the other two are getting dropped into the usual finished work pile lol.
