Printing the jacket 2
What to do when I want to print my image real size. So many considerations…
Creating the robe.
Screen printing fabric to create a length of calico fabric to make into a robe.
Soap Ground
White / Soap Ground. This was on my list of techniques to try. I had seen some evidence of its use through Ollie’s work and I felt it may help with my practice.
Soap Ground on Steel
Steel was next to treat using Soap ground. I haven’t etched steel in nitric acid before so this was going to prove doubly interesting.
Zinc and Soap ground.
Zinc. The aquatinted plate was painted with soap grind and etched in Nitric Acid 1:20. The result?
Mask making
Moving into Unit 2 and realising an image to begin my work on the Witches of Auldearn. I’m changing the name to Weyward Sisters.
