Another gratuitous Boston baseball reference for you today.
Or
is it? The print is intended to be a seascape, but with a white shape in
a green field (pun intended) on the paper now, I could end up with
anything. Including a monster. Or not.
This photo reveals a lot of
my process. For example, my registrations secret is exposed! The wood
fits snugly into a hole I cut into a piece of mat board. I then tape
metal pins to that and each time I put down a new piece of paper for
printing, I add corresponding plastic tabs. They are taped to the back
of the prints. When it is time for layer two, all I have to do is fit
the tabs on the pins and the prints will line up nearly perfectly. It
also prevents the whole thing from sliding around while printing. Not
surprisingly, this is called the "pins and tabs method."
Through
the turquoise sheen on the block, you can make out the transferred
drawing a little. Including some color notes I added before I started
carving. I have a picture of that too. Sounds like we have a topic for
tomorrow. We'll see if we can fit baseball in too.
