Mono printing week

Time to sort out the mono printing, my favourite creating technique of the moment.

I've experimented with tin foil, feathers, wire, sequins, sandpaper, cotton wool etc. I'm finding it a difficult medium to use with a free approach but will persevere. Tin foil produces some lovely effects and can be crinkled up and the used as the plate. Studios a total mess though...

My first paper doll attempt

This is Diane, and she is being printed at the moment as a greetings card. I have bought some lovely golden envelopes for her and am thinking about hand finishing the card with some gold leaf. Maybe a golden handbag and necklace!

Portrait Embroideries

Embroidered on silk using a mix of freehand hand machine embroidery and hand embroidery.

I'm trying out alternative ways of framing and mounting these as they are fairly small and I like the idea of the reflection in the mirror.
