Subject: Mystique series #11~12 : image preparation
Posted by: Dave Bull

Today saw the rest of the image and block preparation, and carving has finally begun. After the Photoshop tracing was finished, I scaled the image to the proper size, de-saturated it (so that it would print cleanly on my monochrome laser printer), and printed it out onto my homemade hanshita paper - a laminate of standard copy paper and very thin gampi washi:

The thin gampi is only lightly attached to the backing sheet (with 'low tack' spray glue) and is easily separated after printout.

Then it was down to the workshop for the rest of the process ...

Subject: What's the plural of DOMINO?
Posted by: Andrew Stone

Well, I've been printing, pulling proofs; like Noah, two by two.

I've been trialing different color combinations and sequences of printing and several different papers. I'm having some issues with the results and while a little late in the game--the blocks are all carved after all--I pull out a REAL domino. I check out the shadows of the little divots/holes again as they don't look quite right in the print. (It's not a real comparison as this domino has divots and the one I drew has hemispherical dots.)
