I carved one of my paisley designs onto Ezy-Carve printing block. It was harder than I expected to get fine detail but then I haven't practiced on this for ages. I did print it and was reasonably pleased for a first attempt. I put in the texture lines for, well, texture. As you can see from the shape, I didn't have a whole piece of block.

That's come out so well. I really like the texture lines, they draw the eye in to the design.
ReplyDeleteThanks - before I have always tried hard to avoid texture lines, just wanting the image, but they do add to it.
ReplyDeleteOh I do love printmaking! Wonder how this would go on fabric - maybe with your stitching detail on the top?....
