Finishing prints and organizing thoughts
So today I decided not to enter the NHIA show. I looked at alot of prints and tried to put into words what they are about. This process just stops me in my tracks. I want the whole process to be fun or at least enjoyable. I did have some fun finishing some ATC’s and creating a label for the back. Just getting into Twitter and Facebook and feeling a bit lost.Finishing prints and organizing thoughts Read More »
Rainy day here in New England. Good day to play with gelatin printmaking. I have worked out a good system for cropping down the prints to the artist trading card size. - Start with a small print- 3″ by 4″
- Use a Matt with a 2.5″x3.5″ window to select the best composition
- Poke the corners of the cropped image with a pin
- Flip the print over and apply glue to the area between the holes
- Using the pinholes as a guide adhere a sturdy card to the back
- Trim the print down to 2.5″x3.5″
- Put your label and information on the back
