Project #009.Block Printing


Among all of the techniques that I learned from printmaking, I like the linoleum block printing most. For me, the most challenging part of making a linoleum block printing, is how to present the design/image on the block. Linoleum block print is a good experience to duplicate an image into difference colors. It is really a pleasure to learn about block printing, all you need is just some patient and passion @(^^)@

Project #008.Monoprint




















The first technique that I learned from printmaking class was monoprint. I think monoprint is the easiest one among those printmaking techniques, yet it is fun and just needed a few tools.

The printing process involved in making a monoprint is named such because only one print is made at a time.

Things you'll need: Plexiglas, brushes, wooden sharp tools like tooth stick, pencil or sharp branches), watercolor paper/card stock, printing ink, roller and wooden spoon/press machine.

Project #007.Wire Sculpture



Dealing with wire is always a fun thing for me during my spare time. In this project, I used steel wire to create structures of a rabbit, a carrot and a dragon .





Materials : Chicken wire, pliers, wire cutter, gloves, paper mache.

Project #006. Wire Art






Before I saw the wire art work from Bart Soutendijk, I never thought that wire can be used as a skatching tool.


I like his wire art - simple line that mean everything.


So I try to make some images that I like most from his wire work.



Here is his website : http://www.wirewallart.com/
