Not really. Just a bit of print frenzy going on! I’m really enjoying the process again!
This card began when I rollered out some very pale and transparent ink directly onto the card, leaving roller marks and deliberate inconsistencies in coverage. I did not photograph this for some reason.
I set up some wood type again and overprinted the background with a brighter, but still transparent green.
You can see the backgrounds clearer here:
When this was dry I made some adjustments to the type and locked it all back up again. I then mixed up some custardy yellow, also using plenty of transparent extender…
And another then another overprint…
Deliberately out of register to give a slightly 3D effect, but really trying to make the most of the transparency…
A couple of days later I got around to real reason for these prints – a new block purchased from eBay!
This time a very deep red was mixed and the Adana 5-3 was primed and put to task…
That is one hell of a flat fish!
Well? It’s a genuine request!
Enjoying you blog having just been given an Adana 5×3. Nice to see what you have achieved.
Thankyou, – I hope you nejoy yours as much as I do mine! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask…
