To Tom from Gloria - puzzle prints


I love that circle. I want to do more circles. I love copperplate. I do not see much copperplate in my future. I just see frantic typing. Sorry.

Here is something for anyone interested in printmaking. The artist lives in the Netherlands. The first link is to the main Instagram link - and the second one is to the particular listing that shows a very cool way of cutting the actual *block* into puzzle pieces - and putting different colors of ink on each one - and then putting the puzzle together. A very clever way to get many colors without having to get all the different parts to *register.*

LINK to *puzzle* print technique

and if you are wondering how she keeps all the inks from drying before she gets around to pulling the print - here's another interesting page.

This makes me want to return to printing - and the best part of this technique is that you can do it all at home - you do not need a press.
