More Fabric Prints (Linocut + Drypoint)

in voilk •  3 months ago

    I have been experimenting a lot on graphic arts, not only by mixing techniques, but also by printing on different surfaces.
    This time I was curious to print on cotton fabric, so I grabbed two black shirts to see what's what.

    Since its black, I thought of using white ink. But after running through the press I realized it was very muted. So maybe I will try running it a second time next week.

    Then I grabbed the second shirt, the fabric is a bit thinner so I thought it would be more successful. I mixed a tiny dot of red ink to make some pink and it... Was the same. I mean, it transferred a bit better but I will definitely try a second time aswell.

    Then I decided to use the rest of the pretty pink ink I mixed and took some pink satin fabric I had around.

    And printed some other linocuts on white satin.

    Overall I'm not mad about the outcome on the shirts, I mean, I kinda like the 'vintage' look, but I will attempt a second time to see if I have a better luck then.
    Now Im just thinking of using some older drypoint works and revamping them by including some linocut around or something. Lets see.
    Thank you for dropping by, the pictures were taken with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 cellphone.
