Documenting my printmaking projects. Saturday, January 8, 2011. Zero Sum Game" Book, final. This book project started a couple years ago now and required me to delve into some new topics, like bookbinding, in order to complete my vision. Of course, other projects came up and I'm only now finishing the first set of books (a prototype was completed in September). See earlier coverage of printing and assembling the core parts of the book. First, gluing inside the front cover. And repeat. and repeat. Experim...

In Print: Fun, at home print project

http://dormaingeyer.blogspot.com/2011/04/fun-at-home-print-project.html

Documenting my printmaking projects. Sunday, April 17, 2011. Fun, at home print project. I really wanted to put my printing skills to work for the wedding and besides. My big project was making the Thank You cards. I decided to try carving rubber instead of linoleum, which I'd heard was easier. Um, it's like carving room temperature butter. which is a little too easy when you're used to linoleum. Inking two colors took some careful application. Was never done with a press, but rather rubbing a burin....

In Print: Who's that creature?

http://dormaingeyer.blogspot.com/2010/10/whos-that-creature.html

Documenting my printmaking projects. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. So, it's been quiet around here, but I have my reasons! I took spring semester off printmaking to take that microeconomics class (as well as a couple book binding workshops. And then Anthony proposed in June! Meanwhile, the printmaking semester started up a couple weeks ago and I am already working on edition prints of a new two-plate lino. I look forward to sharing images of the proofs soon!

In Print: Experimenting with Mont St Michel print

http://dormaingeyer.blogspot.com/2011/01/experimenting-with-mont-st-michel-print.html

Documenting my printmaking projects. Friday, January 7, 2011. Experimenting with Mont St Michel print. This is why I love printmaking: you can start with a core image, or component of an image, and experiment in dozens of ways to find the complete look. In November, I proofed the first plate of. Another two-plate linocut of Mont St. Michel. In December, I trialed a number of combinations with a second color, using a plexiglass monoprint plate to ink, etc. Starting with a simple, solid roll-up.

In Print: Two-plate linocut series

http://dormaingeyer.blogspot.com/2009/05/two-plate-linocut-series.html

Documenting my printmaking projects. Saturday, May 23, 2009. In the spring of 2008, one of our assignments was to create a series of two-plate linocuts. Initially, I had no intention of trying to do an entire series, but wanted to try the technique:. The second plate carries the medium tone and only needs to be cut where the white of the paper should show through, as the darker color will cover the medium tone. Like multiple-plate aquatints. A system of registration is required:. I wanted to do the.

In Print: Alkmaar Cheese Girl

http://dormaingeyer.blogspot.com/2009/12/alkmaar-cheese-girl.html

Documenting my printmaking projects. Monday, December 14, 2009. Anthony and I went to Europe this summer, primarily visiting some friends living in Amsterdam for the year. One day, we went to the cheese market in Alkmaar. It was pretty touristy, but I snapped a couple pictures of the participants in their traditional dress:. My next step was to add the key colors with chine colle. I did a set of eight with the color, two of which already have a home! Monday, December 14, 2009. I heart this one. :).

http://dormaingeyer.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-edition-handyman.html

Documenting my printmaking projects. Sunday, October 24, 2010. New edition - "Handyman". As promised, I have proofs of my new edition print. In fact, I've delayed posting so long that I've completed the entire edition - all that's left to do is sign them. The subject is a 1957 Chevy "Handyman" Wagon, which I snapped on a day trip to Bolinas:. Unlike the "Lobster Pot". Print, I began this plate with the two-plate lino. After some deliberation, I decided on a cyan blue for the base hue:.
