Now it's our turn to print...

My design ideas for my sunprint.

Sunprint... We used a blue piece of sun printing paper and placed on top some objects and left in the sun for about 30 minutes.. this was the result.. 

To create a dry point print you need to use a scribe to scratch an image into a piece of perspex, then you need to file the edges of the perspex at a 45 degree angle. Then, using a leather dabber covered in ink, you rock it back and forth in a curved motion to make sure the perspex is completely covered in ink. To make sure the ink is in every grove and scratch use a rubber finger-like dabber to massage the ink into the image. Then using newspaper you need to wipe off the excess ink. After that, using the press, we printed our dry point images onto slightly damp paper and ended up with something like this...
