printmaking tools
So I’m taking a printmaking class and it’s really awesome.
I’m currently working on a drypoint print. Yesterday I went into the shop area and put my arms (and lower back) to good use beveling the plexiglass. I regret having such an ironic attitude towards shop class in middle school, because I’m pretty positive I would sincerely love it now.
Here’s a sneak peek of the drypoint in progress.
Here are my Japanese wood engraving tools. I was so excited when they arrived.
I can even prop them up in their case and put little stickers with my name on it on them. Wonderful.

the tools, tool packaging and tool labeling and then overall admiring of all those things was clearly the highlight of your summer…well, that and getting addicted to certain web videos. how long did it take you to decide what & how you were going to write on your wood engraving tool labels?

Surprisingly, I was fairly quick about naming/labeling my tools but only because I forced myself into it.
