I find that working on miniature prints, for print exchanges, are a great way to play around with ideas and have a bit of fun. I just completed my edition for the Green Door International Print Exchange.
The small size requirements allow me to use up small scraps of plates and papers and the actual printing goes quite quickly. It wasn't long before I had the edition completed.
The plate itself is 2.5" x 3.5" and the required paper size was 5.5"x 5.5".
I created a drawing based on sections of an old corset, scanned it into Photoshop, sized it and printed out a positive on Mylar. Once the edition was completed, I decided to machine stitch a strip of cotton lace to the image. The final result, "Underpinnings".
