Using an index divider is brilliant. I bought mylar sheets to make stencils, but the autoblade won't cut through. I don't know how to use a different blade... and override the autoblade. :(
@JenniferAkkermansАй бұрын
Thank you - sorry, I can't help you there, tbh, I have the same issue with mylar, that's why I don't use it (and the binder dividers are so much cheaper too).

When I get the first pull from a botanical print, (the sillouette) I place acetate over it. Trace ut wuth a sharpie marker and cut out with a craft knife. Labor intensive, but I don't have a Cricket.

@JenniferAkkermans7 ай бұрын
As far as I know, no, although I haven't tested it with other brands. What makes it work is the surface tension of the paint - if you add more water, it breaks up into this interesting patterns. I'd suggest you try it out with whatever supplies you have, and see what kind of results you get. Happy printing!

Thanks for answering. I found an internet video with Picasso cutting his very large collage pieces with scissors even bigger than the ones you use! Must have been tailors' cutting tools. I'll go to my local quiltmaking store (yes we have one locally) to check their stock. Thnx.

How do you clean all the buildup off the plate?
@JenniferAkkermans Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your question! There are a few things you can do - you can do what's called a pick up print - brayer out a thin layer of paint, put your paper on top, burnish it with your hands, and then leave it to completely dry before you pull it off (ie, overnight). Or you could clean your plate with wet wipes or baby/ mineral oil. It takes some wiping, but the dried paint does come off well. If you do it this way, I would recommend doing a quick clean up print to get the last bits of paint off your plate before you really get into making proper artwork again. Happy printing!

@JenniferAkkermans Жыл бұрын
I seal them using a spray varnish/sealer, and then use a brush on gloss varnish on top. The trick is to use a clean soft, wide brush (Varnish only) and brush on slowly and carefully in one direction. Make sure to brush out any bubbles. When it’s dry, I do another coat, in the other direction- horizontal, if the last coat was vertical. Slowly and carefully is the key.

Awesome work, & very intriguing technique- I might have to give this a try sooner or later! Also, love the song! Beautiful; the beginning reminded me of Sam Gendel’s Satin Doll (the sax on songs like Glide Mode has a similar sedate, dreamy vibe, but this track does pick up & give a bit more of a traditional sound after the horns come in, whereas Sam Gendel’s Satin Doll is like jazz on dissociatives, but I like both sounds).
