This activity involved painting the cross section of a lemon, using one tube/colour of paint only.  Also had to use whatever mark-making tools I thought were most appropriate to create the effect I wanted.

Module 1, Chapter 1, Activity 1 continued.....

Continued with mark-making this morning....used different papers, such as old brown envelopes, paper I'd made a while ago as well as hand-made paper I'd bought, plus black and white photos on printer paper, tissue paper, page from an old learning to play the recorder book.  Also used different mark-making tools: feather, an assortment of sticks from the garden, pencil sharpener, chisel.

This is my first ever blog...very exciting!  Here are some books that I made recently on a 10 week print-making course.  They were made to store some of the print samples.
