Oh the things I could do if only I had the space!
How many times have you uttered those words? I know I have like a million times.
I flip through magazines full of enormous art studios and say, "Someday…someday I will have a house and it will have an enormous studio!"
Why do I want an enormous studio?
Well, who wouldn't?
But one of the things that fascinates me and that I simply do not have the room to explore is screenprinting. Part of what fascinates me with screenprinting is the ability to make multiple passes over a single image for all sorts of cool layers of color and pattern.
Well, rather than waiting around, I decided to play with what I had around.
I carved three stamps (various aspects of the same image)…
…and then printed all three on top of each other. And one alone and a different one alone and then two together…and on and on until I had a whole bunch of cool prints!
Cool, right?
I stuck them all onto a canvas with green washi tape just to take the photos. The wind was blowing and they wouldn't stay put any other way. But I'm kind of digging the way it looks like that all together! I might have to attach them permanently….
Then again, they look pretty cool alone too.
Hmmmm…so many ideas now! I can't wait to buy some more carving blocks and keep up these printing experiments!
Thanks for stopping by!

oh yéééé…so cool…
i would like to try it again, when i was young, i liked so much carving in linoleum for stamping…but i don’t know where i could find something like that again, and i don’t have no more tools…
you give me the push to go ahead and look for an other experience…where do you buy your tools ? what kind of ink do you use??
thanks a lot for that inspiration!!!

Wow- just WOW!! I saw the images all together and I literally made a “whoa!” kinda noise. GORGEOUS!
I always think about studio space. When we built our home, my two requirements for my tiny studio space was that it had to have a sink and it had to have a window. Now I keep thinking about what I would do if I won the lottery- I decided I would buy the house next door (it’s a crummy rental, not someone’s beloved home), knock it down, build a little park and garden for my daughter and a indoor/outdoor studio for me. So now that I have that planned, I must win the lottery 😉
You deserve a giant, wide, airy studio with room for ALL your genius and creativity. And I have no desire you will get that, soon.

Wow, Every time I see something you create I start spending money in my mind. You make me want to try everything and take away all my fear of failure. By the way, I really look forward to your segment on the scrapbooking show. Thanks for the inspiration. Penny

Wow, I just love these! The prints taped all together look so lovely and fun. I am really falling in love with all your stamps. I know I keep harping on you teaching at BPC, but I think you would be fantastic! And I don’t believe anyone has taught a class at BPC on making your own stamps.
