Ribbons in Order

A generous student tipped me off to using confetti or ribbons behind a screen. I loved the effect, but not the stringy mess. So, latest switch was to make my own from tyvek by slicing the ribbons all the way but leaving it together at the end by a few inches. Now I can print, dunk in water to wash, and use again.
 

Demos are the Best

My new favorite think is this thick, clean cut line. Make with tyvek, I've left the background and the middle, and printed just the line. A shape that came quickly as a derivative of my leaf design, it was so much fun to print in the Glorious Prints workshop today. One more day of fun!
 

In the Mail

To start the virtual fall classes I've a printing class in a few weeks. And I thought I'd mail the white plastic and sheet of tyvek to them so they don't have to hunt around for them. So, they'll go out in Tuesday's mail. If this was in person teaching, I'd be bringing them along with me. Thanks all who are in the class!
 

The Printed Line

I've a few ways to print a line. And I love having more than one way to do that. I've a screen with a cut tyvek sheet for one set, and a board with glue gun scribbles to be a rubbing for another line. Now to make an image that is solid, and one for a background print. There's no end!
 

More Screens, Good Point!

I finally got back to my print table and tried a Tyvek cut stencil (top) behind a silkscreen. I love the sharp points I can make with my rotary cutter, and can see lots of ways to use this method. Interesting, as well, are the thin thin lines from my cutting.
