Etching lino again
03 July 2013
Etching lino again, this time trying to make a figurative picture.
I painted a bird shape with varnish, and then etched the block. The solid black in the middle is where the varnish held on, and resisted the caustic soda; the soft gray around the outside is where the block was etched. The white bits within the bird shape are where the varnish didn't resist the caustic soda.
Then I printed the block with a mask over the background.
And then on coloured backgrounds.

Etching lino in progress

Some blocks with caustic soda (the yellow gungy stuff) on them.
Cellist: Getting carried away
16 June 2013
Got a bit carried away with excitement, and tried to combine the multiple blocks with the etched lino. I transferred the line image of the cellist onto another block, and then etched that block, carefully applying the caustic soda only to the area within the line image. This is what the etched block looks like when printed in black:
Then I printed the original line block over the top:
Well, it's worked in parts: the etched bits give a nice, unusual, texture. And failed in other parts: the face on the etched block didn't bit, giving too much black there.
