Had this idea in my head the last few weeks kind of outside my usual bright and happy creations.
More like a heavy self doubt portrayed by the environment weighing down on a bright Pollyanna.. a feeling I always have when starting something new.. and omg, ugh!
Creative chaos all over my desk, and while it’s starting to look pretty it’s definitely not what I imagined.
…this is gonna take some time. *as I smear it all over in utter frustration*… ahhhh the mess…
Seriously have to give a shoutout to this product by Speedball Art Products.
I bought this jar of block printing ink over 10 years ago, and the last 5 years it just sat in my closet.
Pulled it out to see if I could prep another workshop with it while doubting it would be anything other than a black brick, and yet to my surprise it worked like a charm!
Spread a little thicker than brand new, but still perfectly good 10 years later… lol… Consider me impressed :)…
Thanks Speedball!
I used to work with these a lot, and just recently picked them up again. Artisan books! Made with original hand-painted covers, and a stitch binding.
More styles coming soon!
