I cut a piece of chicken wire to see what kind of marks or printmaking tools I could make.
- First I tried to attach it to a board to get it to lay flat – not happy.
- I tried laying fabric on top and doing a brayer rubbing – not so good
- I press the wire into foam – hmm? like it.
- Used the the foam relief tool to do a brayer rubbing. Success.
Wire is sharp and can be hard on the rest of my supplies. I was most pleased with the relief stamp.
Yeah! So now I can get rid of the roll of chicken wire that I have been holding on to and hoping to do something with.
