Printmaking with Carla Sonheim

These are some of my recent practice prints. I was watching a class with artist Carla Sonheim and decided to get involved  and get back into the swing. It was fun! I will continue working on some printmaking for a project coming up next year, while finishing up on pieces for this years show. Deadlines!!!!

Hey, hey, it’s my birthday! Well, not today–but Sunday is. And so I thought I’d do a video tutorial to share this cool little booklet I found when I cleaned out the studio. I made it years ago from a pattern from somewhere (and if you know who designed the pattern, please post a comment telling us so we can be grateful for their cleverness and generosity in sharing it way back then).
Here’s the really-simple pattern you can print out for practice:

And here’s the video tutorial where you can follow along. Link above.
Once you’ve made a couple, you’ll get all kinds of ideas for variations, and that’s where the fun starts!

If you’d like more ideas for art journals that aren’t just your standard book, check out Margaret Peot’s Alternative Art Journals.
