RSSAnother way to use your old phonebook
February 16th, 2009 by laura | Filed under Laura Campbell Fine Art.The cool thing about printmaking is you don’t necessarily need a press to make prints. We still have a couple of weeks to go before the press arrives. I really felt like printmaking today so I decided to give my Japanese baren a try. Here we are with a lo-fi monotype made with water based ink on phone book paper. I mixed black and yellow ink, and using a brayer, spread the ink out on glass. I inked a piece of cheese cloth, and made several different impressions by moving it around on the paper. Pressure was applied by using a Japanese baren.
