Regressing to childhood.

August 23rd, 2006 by Crumpet

Mr Crumpet came into the studio to help pick up the blackboard I made last semester, took one look at my desk, and noted that I seem to be regressing to childhood. And if that means that I get to make cool stuff, I don’t mind one single bit.

My one (mostly) registered print worked out. I’m so very, very, very excited, and I’m about to post approximately 20 million pictures to prove it.

The final print:

sick, pre-menstrual, and doing a bad job of your linocut reduction print registration (or suffering from “registration anxiety” as Caroline so aptly put it…)?

Monoprints happen.

A Mad Tea-Party

August 23rd, 2006 by Crumpet

Mr Crumpet’s mum gave me some teacups and saucers from her collection the other night. She’d remembered that the red Japanese one was my favourite, and then I chose a couple more favourites for good measure. I’m also going to use these as part of a project for my Artist’s Books class on “collections”.

Follow the White Rabbit

August 22nd, 2006 by Crumpet

My engraving print from the Ros Atkin’s workshop we had in class last week! I’ve since cut my block down to a better size and printed an edition of ten. Which I’ve since lost somewhere in our house.

Current sock…

August 22nd, 2006 by Crumpet

I’ve only been able to knit a tiny bit on this each day, but it’s a toe up sock knitted from Interlacements Tiny Toes that I bought as a treat for myself with some of the money I had sitting in my Paypal account. The top is a variation on the Chinese Lace pattern from one of Barbara Walker’s lace books. I don’t know quite what to do at the top of the sock yet. Ribbing? Some sort of fancy bind-off? Help me please!
