Lately I'm obsessed with monoprinting!  I've been creating lots and lots of Composed Prints.

I created this one right after I made all those paper stencils:

LotsOfStencils-wm
Understandably, it is therefore packed with stenciling!  I'm a more-is-more kind of girl, so I like this kind of vibrating pulsating image packed with color and shape.

For my next attempt, I decided to break my own rules.  Originally, I had decided that these pieces had to be 100% just monoprinting.  But I decided to scribble all over this one:

WithDrawing-wm
I haven't decided whether I like the scribbling or not.  Going to have to think about it.

And finally, I decided to try some restraint.  Unusual for me.

Simple-wm
I think I love this one the most.  I might try a bit more restraint in the future!

If you'd like to learn about creating these Composed Prints, check out my upcoming in-person class on the subject.

Thanks for stopping by!

  • These are fabulous! Do you have any videos of how you do this? I would love to come to your class but live in Texas so not too convenient. If you don’t have any videos – maybe you can film part of your class in June and make an online video class we can purchase! Thanks

  • I like restraint in the sense that the pattern seems a little more planned. The white pen could add an outline of a weeping leaf stem. I guess spring is on my brain. Lol.
