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.

Our Last Meeting

We had a ton of fun at our last meeting where Beverly kindly taught us all how to make spirellas! Here are some photos of the meeting.


Here we are cutting out and designing our spirellas. You can see some of the examples that Beverly brought next to her arm on the table.

And here are some photos of our finished products.
A BIG thank you to Beverly for teaching us this amazing technique.
We will see you all next month!
