Monoprinting

We had so much fun this week, learning to do monoprinting. Many thanks to Ariane!!!
Here are the step by step instructions for monoprinting:
1. Cut open a sheet protector on two sides so it opens like a book.
2. Using re-inkers or acrylic paint put dabs of color onto the inside of the sheet protector.

3. close and brayer. Be careful, if you use too much paint/ink it will spill out of the sides. It's a good idea to cover your work surface.
4. When you like the look of the colors, open it back-up and stick a piece of paper in the middle. Close and re-brayer.
5. Open-up and viola! You have a gorgeous piece that is identical on both sides.
