printmaking tools

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

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.
