Description: | |
5 PCs to 5 partners (mailed naked). Hand-carved block print. People may think carving a block to print is difficult, but there are easy techniques out there, such as using a pencil to press a design into styrofoam. Cutting a block in soft linoleum isn't hard, either. If you start with a colored background and use a second color of ink, you'll be surprised at what interesting art you've made. Once you've carved your block, it's easy to make multiples, so for this swap, print your one postcard-sized design five times and mail to five partners. Everyone welcome, but no 3s within 6 months and no 1s unless you PM me with a good reason (sometimes life happens). If your partner flakes, I will angel after you PM your partner, get no response, then rate her/him a 1. Have fun making artwork your partner will want to keep! |
