These are some of my favorite blocks to make. They are very versatile. You can use them to print directly or to do a brayer rubbing. When you print with them they have a very distinctive look.
My goal today was to create more blue fabrics for one of the Crossroads pieces. I did a base layer of paint yesterday. Today, after creating a few new hot glue blocks, I did some rubbings using a Confectioner's Sugar resist. This is the technique I used to make some of the fabrics here , here and here.
This looks like a great way to get design and texture. I'll have to give it a try when I get hold of a glue gun. I used to have one but of course someone (my children) borrowed it and I never saw it again....:(
ReplyDeleteYes, Roberta...go out and get another! I could see you doing great things with texture blocks from hot glue to add to the beautiful blocks that you carve.
DeleteI just LOVE that idea. I'm inspired.
ReplyDeleteThey are great fun and so easy to make!
