I am in the printmaking class at my school and so far I have done an intaglio, relief, and a monoprint. We are starting our last project which is a collagraph print. My teacher gave us a research assaingment to find other artists who do collagraphic prints and I found yours and I like them a lot! The colors are fun and i love how neat it is. I now have a better idea of what I want to do my project about! :)<br /><br />Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that because this is going to be my first collagragh print! I am so exited! :DSayurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15801310557670077259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-53901837835831735402009-03-22T16:19:00.000+00:002009-03-22T16:19:00.000+00:00I was just looking for different collagraphs for a...I was just looking for different collagraphs for a schoolproject, and found your site.

But then they started rolling far too much ink on, getting it on clothes, tables, walls... oh my oath... Yours is a much more refined method!Cathy Gatlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004501411878060668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-88064135600710912682008-06-08T18:43:00.000+00:002008-06-08T18:43:00.000+00:00HiGlad to see that your 'lovely shiny new plan che...Hi<BR/>Glad to see that your 'lovely shiny new plan chest' is filling up.<BR/>My 'lovely shiny new desk' was commandeered by my grandson this weekend. Got it back again today to set up my next piece.<BR/>I like to print any method I can. I like to make stamps using high density foam and a soldering iron. Another method I like is to use is using a teflon sheet.<BR/>BTW - my Blogger site is back in action again!!!<BR/>Intend to run both.<BR/>CheersShirley Anne Sherrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15802613285739321177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-11340142117828968222008-06-08T15:17:00.001+00:002008-06-08T15:17:00.001+00:00Hi Brian and Dinah I'll have a look on Flickr - I'...Hi Brian and Dinah <BR/><BR/>I'll have a look on Flickr - I've never really investigated it properly - how great to have access to a good press<BR/><BR/>Thanks Brian - why not have a play - I love monotypes especially worked into with pastel etcvivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-23970437168930213012008-06-08T15:17:00.000+00:002008-06-08T15:17:00.000+00:00Hi Brian and Dinah I'll have a look on Flickr - I'...Hi Brian and Dinah <BR/><BR/>I'll have a look on Flickr - I've never really investigated it properly - how great to have access to a good press<BR/><BR/>Thanks Brian - why not have a play - I love monotypes especially worked into with pastel etcvivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-71363971387599986032008-06-08T09:02:00.000+00:002008-06-08T09:02:00.000+00:00I do not have my own press.

And, because of a pinched nerve, I find hand rubbing a chore and cannnot do much. <BR/>I love acid etchings, but my house is not really the place for that so I do mainly lino, collograph, monprints and monotypes.<BR/>For small work, hand-burnishing is fine, but for a big edition I (and probably everyone!) need a good press.<BR/>On my flickr site(I am "dinahmow") , in the "art" set there is a collograph before-and- after.<BR/>So, a table press is OK, a baren is ok, a wooden spoon can be ok. But a big, floor-mounted, geared "squashing machine" is heaven!dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-4141887174417625142008-06-07T21:19:00.000+00:002008-06-07T21:19:00.000+00:00These are great, Vivien - I love the colors and th...These are great, Vivien - I love the colors and the way you've treated the water in both pieces. Thanks for the very interesting description of the process as well. I haven't done printmaking since high school or college and never felt especially at home with it. I love the landscapes Degas did with monotype and pastel, though, and these fish of yours are wonderful.Brian McGurganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963409828276349170noreply@blogger.com
