#fireflyprint

Played around with making a simple linocut yesterday. I kind of messed up the firefly a bit. I had to use a magnifying glass to carve out the area around the legs and still didn’t do a very good job. I inked it with a blue and black ink rolled out onto a sheet of glass and made the gradient with the roller. Then I used posca acrylic markers to add some more color. #badlinocut #linocutprint #printmaking #crudeprintmaking #fireflyprint https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Xx802nsJH/?igshid=47hju0ti9yk2

Played around this afternoon with a little printmaking. I used a Staedtler Mastercarve block which was way too soft, making it hard to hold details and easy to make mistakes. As soon as I started carving, I messed up some of the lines. Anyway I had fun. I printed it with some Speedball water soluble black ink and added the touches of color with some Posca acrylic markers. #printmakingathome #simpleprintmaking #fireflyprint #fireflyart #bioluminescence #printmaking #staedtlermastercarve https://www.instagram.com/p/B_QnDMQny0v/?igshid=1w7fgpi17b2pi
