Lanterns are on their way!

My school is having its second Lanterns at Twilight on Wednesday night.  The children from years Prep-Yr6 have handmade their lanterns and will parade with them around our oval.  Stay tunned for Wednesday nights photo's!!

Patterns in nature

These photo's show the wonderful patterns found in nature.  Line, shape, colour, texture.  How lucky I am to be surrounded with such beauty!

Printmaking

I having been wanting to do this all holidays, and I finally got around to giving it a whirl!.

Firstly these were a series of drawings I did whilst away on our trip to the beach....

I used dense printing foam from Speedy School Supplies.  This foam is harder than polystyrene foam and is easily scored using a pen.

The materials I needed, I didn't photograph the plate that I put the ink onto for rolling before adding it onto the printing plate.

I have only completed 6 prints in this series and this was the last one.  Note how the image is the negative of the scoring.

Framed and ready to display!
