Subject: [Baren 25335] Embossing on Dry Paper
Send Message: To this poster

I made a print yesterday and embossed three small areas on the dry
kitakata and I like how it looks. It works fine. I used the end of a
small paintbrush to push in the lines. Maybe some of you are thinking
of very deep embossed areas? I just wanted certain small areas to
stand out as designs on a white ground. I cut the simple designs in
wood and embossed first. The embossment was not bothered by the
printing, because the printing part was in a different area so the
wooden knob never went over the embossed area.

I appreciate all the input!!!!

I ran a proof of my print through the computers printer and did not lose
the emboss. And it was not a heavy or deep emboss. Just a thing to know. I
had embossed it dry also.
And again an ooops made a difference in this print.
I am learning that even when I have planned everything out things can and do
change. I am one who likes to go with the flow of a piece rather than know
in advance exactly what I will have. And maybe with this Hanga stuff that
is a good thing.
I still adore my ball bearing Baren and will never regret the money I spent
to have it.
Can you believe we are almost to the 4th of July?
Happy printmaking everyone.
Marilynn

Send Message: To this poster

I am one of fifteen or so printmakers who were invited to participate in
"Several Steps Removed" (http://www.fleisher.org/exhibitions/steps.php),
an exhibition jointly presented by the Philadelphia Print Collaborative
(http://www.printcollaborative.org/) and the Samuel S. Fleisher Art
Memorial (http://www.fleisher.org) as part of the 'The Big Nothing'
(http://www.icaphila.org/exhibitions/big_nothing.php), a citywide
initiative set in motion by the Institute of Contemporary Art
(http://www.icaphila.org/). "Several Steps Removed" focuses on the
matrix as an artifact in the creation of prints, and features a broad
variety of work and printing processes from woodcut through digital
methods. The exhibition will be held at the Fleisher Art Memorial in
Philadelphia from 5 July through 6 August, with an opening reception from
5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, 9 July 2004.

In other exhibition news, drawings from my series 'Prodigies' are
