Uni Life! - Calligraphy Printing

 

Last week at University I started my calligraphy print. This is what I did...

 

I used:

- PVA glue

- Thick card

- Scissors

- Brushes to brush on the glue

- different types of thickness string

 

 

As you can see below I then glued the string into the glue in a abstract honeycomb shape with lines on the edges. I put glue all over the string to keep in glued to the card properly. the technician will the put varnish all over the piece to keep it all in one place when I come to print with it.  

 

 I then started a second calligraphy print (as you can see below) and was going to do honeycomb shapes all over the card, I thought it would make a lovely print but I didn't have enough time in the print room so I just did three little ones.

 

This is what it looked like half way through.

 

 

 

This week I printed with them...

 

This is what I used material and paper, oil paints (I used Red, Blue and Light Blue) and a number of paint brushes...

To Evaluate I really enjoyed doing this printing I love the effect it gives you the really nice looking distressed look. Although its really messy I love the effect it gives.
