Description: | |
Here is a swap for a piece of poetry illustrated by at least 3 relief prints. This swap is inspired by another swapper, bonjourmiette, who sent me linocut supplies and some amazing prints that she had done for a previous swap (nerd swap)!! I listed this as 4 partners because there is very little additional work to make each print after you make the first. The work is just in creating the blocks and wouldn't it be great to get 4 different interpretations from different people? The requirements are you somehow print a poem and at least 3 relief images that are at least 4 square inches in size and present them in whatever way you would like. Some ideas are to somehow arrange them on one piece of cardstock or other medium, or you could print them on separate pieces and bind them, or make them into a card. You do not have to print the text of the poetry using the relief method, you can print that with a printer or by any other means that you wish (typewriter???). Also, this relief can be using any medium you would like, wood block, linoleum, stamping rubber (but remember this must be hand carved) or anything else that you think would work. You are also free to alter this art in any other way that you would like as long as it has some form of poetry and 3 relief images of the required size. Here is a link to a great tutorial I found online on relief printing! http://lizzyhouse.typepad.com/freeabee/files/blockprint_tutorial.pdf Also, I'd like to limit this to swappers that have a 5.0 rating or slightly below with a very good explanation and a very good recent history (at my discretion). I will angel if I have to. Newbies please PM me and I will consider allowing you if I feel that you can prove to me that you won't be a risk. |
