I have alway wanted to do a series of monotype prints with tiny trees. I want to show the roots below the surface and the the leaves above the surface.
So today I gave it another shot. It is challenging to use fragile plant materials to block and transfer ink. Below you can see how I placed the tiny tree on the plate ink side up when it was not in use.
If you are curious about monoprinting on the glycerin plate with inks on paper, then watch the video below, and sign up for the next session of Make Monotypes, a 6 week online printmaking course with ink on paper. Early bird discount is available through Friday, May 17th.
