Today I started printing with my lino I created last week. I did three prints in my sketchbook. The first I printed with brown first, and then did a green print over the top to create a 3D style image. The second I did a mix of both brown and green but as a flat 2D print. When doing the last, I decided that I had previously enjoyed working on fabric to do my typography so I decided I would print onto the same calico fabric I had used before. I used the 3D printing technique with two colours. It didn't print as defined as I would have liked so I decided to use a black marker to outline some of the edges. I then went on to outline some of the leaves using gold embellishment thread, and added a few gold sequins to selected leaf ends. I think it worked quite well and gives it a real delicate feel.
I then did some more typographic text next to the leaf prints in my sketchbook which I think have worked really successfully.
With the rest of my remaining time at college I watched the Disney Snow White DVD. I took notes of every scene and some lines that I thought may be significant from characters, or that I thought would be important in illustrating the story. This will also be useful when not only looking at the original story, but making sure my book is jam-packed with details and exciting illustrations.
