I set out today to add texture to yesterday’s prints using white ink. It then occurred to me that I could print using white ink onto other coloured paper, as well as black paper, and aged sheet music.
Firstly, I thought it was time to cut out a new violin mask (as well as design a new mask, using a different personal object, to use in conjunction with, as well as seperately to, the violin mask).
I particularly like the white ink on black paper. The ghost print beside it unfortunately included a couple of spots. I may use these spotted prints for mixed media pieces at another time.
I think I can afford to go a bit darker on the sheet music print. I’ll wait until the mask dries and cut out the “f” holes. Or, I could use a seperate copy of my violin design and cut out just the “f” holes in order to best place them in a seperate colour on any future prints in this series.
