Petite passion pour les cailloux, les cristaux mais aussi et ce n'est pas étonnant, le beton !
Et admiratrice de certain aspect de l'architecture du Corbusier (mais peu du bonhomme...)

Travail sur Tetra Pak qui s'accorde bien avec la rusticité des surfaces et les imperfections assumées de ses coffrages.

Souvenirs d'un voyagesn en Irlande
Et d'une balade à marée basse, entre rochers et gouilles d'eau sur la côte du Connemara.
L'inspiration à mes pieds : un pot-pourri irlandais de lichens et algues, de granit et mousses veloutées.

Starting out big by sharing a triptych that was sold at last years' Hristmas market and some if my favourite pieces. Consisting of the works:
"Best part of summer24', Mycelia & Worst part of summer 24' "

Now it's hanging in the entrance of a happy owner 😊

*Detailed info for the curious reader*:

Intaglio printing, drypoint etching on zink plates handprinted on acid free quality cotton paper with oilbased ink in prussian blue and yes, orange. 😅 The chemical reaction between the ink and zink plate reminds of burned sienna. Which is why the colors seems a bit different but this has been depending on how long I've spend on removing the ink from the plate.

I like the contrast between the pale face and the dark hair and collar. The artist's of the various fabrics impresses me too. In addition, the unusual pose is striking.

For the final crustacean of May and the “really not a crab” prompt for #InsertAnInvert2024 I have opted for a far more common (and frankly less terrifying) little creature than the suggested species (that even our crustacean expert called “absolute abominations”). This little cutie on the other hand, is a freshwater water flea. Daphnia longispina is a planktonic crustacean of the 🧵1/n

Happy #printdayinmay2024 #printdayinmay y’all.

Spent the afternoon finally printing the first telephone pole #drypoint #etching plate

I’d torn the paper a couple weeks back, but didn’t get to the #printmaking part until today!

Things that went well:
* water level in paper controlled with sprayer and blotting
* oil-based speedball block ink working better than others so far
* understood that wood spoon is the best pressure (compared to speedball baren)
* understood that work’s presses are both too small and inconsistent pressure to handle a 10x7 inch plate

bon de la pointe sèche, je grave sur du plexiglas ; là c'est imprimé sur du papier Wenzhou, (premiers tirages) c'est pas cher. Mais bon à savoir, un rouleau de papier Kraft à deux euros supporte très bien la gravure taille douce (pas le clairefontaine, c'est un papier kraft que j'ai trouvé à carrefour). Je poste çà, voilà

Experimenting with Tetrapak printing Daphnia, weird little planktonic crustaceans a few millimetres in length known as water fleas.

This one is Daphnia longispina, a Eurasian fresh water flea found in bodies of water of various sizes, as small as rock pools up to large lakes. They mainly eat algae.

Tetrapak printing is something you can do with Tetrapak containers - in this case an empty box of juice!

Hand printing some #drypoint #etching with my daughter Pebbles.

Disappointed with the way the charbonnel black came out, but I liked how sticky it was to the plate. I think the pressure from a press would work way better.

Fall back to the speedball block ink which is runnier and can also dry up too fast. Seems to have best results with wooden spoon - baren doesn’t really yield the needed pressure.
