I will now give you pictrures and explanations of the techniques included in the February notes. Cutting and inserting strips in blocks. Making curves. This is a very valuable technique to know. When sewng curves use a scant quarter inch seam, it helps get flatter results. Some examples of inserting curves. Now it is ready for surface work. You can stamp on it, below will be some printing done with prints made for card, glue, bought stamps. I have used ordinaty acrylics with luminosity in them. Use a brayer to ink the stamp and then use a clean brayer to press onto the paper or material. |
