i'm so sorry, everybody - i let the time get away from me, and i'm so busy with school right now that i'm not going to be able to crank something out by thursday. i apologize for not letting everyone know earlier, but i'm having a really hard time keeping track of stuff. sorry if this is really inconvenient for anybody.
Okay. So my prints went out. I am less than thrilled. I thought I would be all tongue-in-cheek and do something really lo-tech. As a break from the litho and etching. I guess, despite all the work I have done, printing with a potato is still beyond me. So I offer my apologies and offer some recent work for review.
quick, I'm about to sign the prints and put them in the mail: should I sign them Karina Jean like I do my holiday cards, or should I sign with RealFirstName RealLastName? Do y'all care? I am so worn out that simple discussions are very hard for me currently.
and also, monkeyhouse I missed if you reposted your address, and I thought I had it, but I don't. can you resupply please?
yay! and thanks!
(my prints turned out quite not bad considering they're my first ever try at carving, printing, etc. I am pleased!)
I am getting so excited to see the work you have all done! This is my first stab at print making (and I did have a little accident with a gouge and my finger tip, but if you don't bleed you don't really learn, right?).
so, my question for y'all: are you going to be signing and numbering your prints? I don't know what is appropriate so I will follow the crowd.
I totally wish I had a scanner or a digicam so I could post my first proof.
is there a good way to sharpen the tips of a linoleum cutter? i vaguely remember something about some crazy stone and maybe linseed oil in printmaking class so many years ago, but i'm hoping for a method that doesn't require me tracking down a new tool. any suggestions? thanks! :)
