D&Print-lino reduction prints
In class we've moved on to reduction prints and I have to say it's really super nerve-wracking. The main deference is with just a regular lino stamp you can reuse it as many time as you need but with a reduction stamp you have a light color that you use with a general shape carved into the lino and then for the next color/step you have to carve some of your lino away which means if you screw up you are royally screwed. I'm working on carving for my second color (I'm carving a koi fish)..I was so nervous about running out of the 1st color that I mad 20 copies.....still not sure about having enough haha! So earlier today in my d&print class I was carving my lino and I slipped and cut myself, it hurt like crazzy!!I didn't even look at it, I just grabbed paper towel and wrapped my finger and squeezed because it hurt so much, and when I finally got a band-aid on it I had to change it because it bled through. I laughed the whole time :)
