@helveticablanc Lovely.

I can see you're enjoying doing physical work

Helvetica Blanc

@dualhammers I have! It's been a jarring but good change for me!

@helveticablanc

I've really been enjoying seeing your physical media work evolve.

Russ Sharek

@helveticablanc

It shows. I'm learning by seeing examples.

@helveticablanc

You've got me pondering ways to add some textures to my linocuts...

Russ Sharek

@helveticablanc

I'm working slowly. Still trying to figure out the lino part. Specifically, how one prints over irregular surfaces reliably.

Helvetica Blanc

@RussSharek If you're not married to lino, may I suggest dabbing paint through a stencil?

Russ Sharek

@helveticablanc

I might have to abandon it for the idea I'm brewing, which would be frustrating because it's now carved and awaiting printing.

The piece says 'o pana e kon' which translates approximately to 'Breathe.'

Helvetica Blanc

@RussSharek Hmm, I've never used lino myself, so I don't have any pointers. The design is cool tho!

@helveticablanc

Thank you!

I have been looking at découpage and collage techniques mostly. My thought is print on thin to the point of transparent paper, then glue into piece.

@neauoire Aw thanks! I'm on a short break to gather supplies, but then have a few that I hope really kick it up a notch!
