I did it! Whoa! It took some creativity and some commitment to the promise that I made to myself.
I must admit that today is another SEE and Print project. That is my big discovery that I am really attracted to processes that do not require the “draw” part of the process.
I used some orphan type face that I recently purchased at the Museum of Printing. I held the wooden letters together with an elastic and printed it with speedball block printing inks.
I did print several copies and played with the spacing and position of the letters. I was not getting perfect impressions, so in the end I needed to embrace the imperfections.
This monoprint was printed on paper and then mounted on to a 3″ square block. If you are a local reader. I will be at the Christmas Stroll on Saturday, at 90 Washington St, the Haverhill Art Market. And I am having a BIG studio sale. Hope to see you there.
