I am really enjoying doing #PrintInktober this year. The additional challenge I set for for myself to focus on the technique of chine-collé has been deeply creatively stimulating. Before I share my most recent prints, a quick reminder about what #PrintInktober is — It's the annual printmaking adventure I started in 2018. The challenge is open to everyone. Here are the basics:
- Create and post one print each day in October.
- Use the hashtag #printinktober when you post.
- Any stamp/block can be used – foam, silicone, rubber, hand carved, lino, whatever you want!
- Any ink can be used – screenprinting ink, marker ink, stamping ink, printing ink, etc.
- You can use the list of prompts, if you’d like. Or not.
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: Have fun and don’t worry if you miss a day (or more). The point of the challenge is to get those stamps out of storage and into use!!
Here's what I've made for days 10-16 (for each piece, you will see a still photo and a video embedded from instagram):
This is a short tutorial I posted to YouTube all about the process of chine-collé:
Monthly members have access to the real time version of this video in the online classroom.
If you're interested in learning all the details about how to do chine-collé at home and without a press or even hand carved stamps, I am teaching a live online chine-collé Zoom class on November 11, 2022.
I hope you'll give #PrintInktober a try. It's never too late to jump in and stamp on something!

The first thing every morning, I check my email; my Facebook; my friend, photographer Gary Gardiner’s post; and your post. You are my journaling queen. I started following you when you were doing an occasional segment on a PBS show. You put me on to something besides cards, and I’ve been keeping up with you ever since. I still do cards, but with mixed media techniques. Thanks for being my inspiration.
