Cameo Reductive Print

This was my first (complicated) reductive print. To make a reductive print, I had the whole image on one piece of linoleum and then I printed the first color that had the most area. Then I cut a little more, printed with a new color, and therefore created a new layer. I did this until the image was complete. Because there is a lot of detail in this one, and because there are so many layers, keeping the images registered was very difficult. Also, because there were so many layers, the ink was getting too thick and weird. Anyways, it turned out pretty good, considering that it was my first complicated reductive print.

Orange Bowl

There is not much to say about this bowl, except for that the glaze details definitely make it. The glaze on this bowl is very interesting and I am very happy with how it turned out. The orange even turns to a hot pink in some spots.

My Mom and Me

This is a portrait of my Mom and me that I drew from a picture taken when I was probably 6. She likes this one a lot and says it's the next to be framed.

Landscape Prints

Here is my landscape print. One is monochromatic and the other is a colored print. It was pretty difficult to get all of the detail in there, but it was worth it! To add the colors, I had to take the original linoleum block apart and print them each separately. It was my first try at color block printing, so my colors were a little off register. SUPER frustrating.

Hanging Flowers

I drew this in one of the gardens at my community college. It was one of the first  days of spring, and while drawing, I got my first sunburn of the year. It's the only time that I've tanned and got something that lasted.

Hand Held Vase

I made this one a while ago, but it's still worth sharing. It was apart of my A.P. 3-D Studio Art Portfolio. It was one of 6(?) in a series of hand and vessel sculptures. All of the hands in the series were painted with the same designs and all of the vessels were glazed in a similar fashion.
