4 Finds For Printing

4 printmaking finds by linda germain

I am pleased to share that I am into my first week of the Make Monotypes Course – that I have been working on for the last few months. It is very exciting I am working with 50 artists from all over the world.

Ok, enough of that.  Let me share with you a few good deals from the local bargain stores.  I love to use stuff that is free, but sometimes bargain store deals are good too.

  1. Cosmetic sponges are great for printing small screens like my business card above.
  2. Squeegees are great for thermofax screens.  I have cut a few of these into smaller sizes to works for different size screens.
  3. The cookie sheet is perfect for making the gelatin and glycerin plate for making monotypes.
  4. About once a year, I can find those little treasure boxes.  I like to use the back side of the box for mixed media.  Just cover the other side with brown paper and attach a hanger.
Share this  with your art making friends.
