This months art box for the art and parcel art box isnt something I will use or know much about but I find it quite cool reading about the items and may be in the future actually create something so amazing with it that it will make me want to do this style of art more offen, but until that day comes I will just give you the short hand version of each item and my views of this box at the end.
The first item in this box was the abig metal blades with the RRP £2.00. Now these blades come in two sizes and are perfect for creating varying thickness of marks. The tool heads are sharp so here are a couple of tips they added for us to use. Always hold your lino at the bottom, not the top, just incase you slip. It shouldn't feel too much like hard work to carve your lines if it does you might be digging in too deep. The next item is the abig wooden handle with the RRP £2.00. This abig wooden handle is comfortable to hold when negotiating a tricky line in your design and works perfect with the blades I mentioned above. The next item is the essdee black ink with the RPP £2.50. This printing ink is a great high quality water based ink which makes it enjoyable to use and also easy to clean up. Juts pop a blob out onto your inking surface and run your roller through it until you hear that wonderful sticky tacky noise. That way you know the consistency is perfect for printing. The next item is the Fabriana unica printing paper at RPP £3.00. You need the perfect surface for your beautifuly created disgn and the fabriano unica printing paper is just that. This high queality paper is highly resistant and ideal for many different printing techniques. The next item is the abig lino printing roller at RPP £8.50. Now this roller is smooth and will be perfect for you the do your printing with. The next item was the essdee A5 lino sheet at RPP £3.00. This A5 lino sheet is a great size to get you started on the printing style. The last item in this box was the A5 acetate sheet at RPP 50p. Now this was added for me/us to try monoprinting. which is a transfer of sorts which I am sure I did something like that on my art course so I may have to look back into my old art books to see if I still have any prints I did. Now this is a great starter kit for printing but I have never really enjoyed the printing style of art so this box will most likely be used for when my bother does his printing on his art course but apart from that this is a great box and this is the only box that I havent actaully found anything to use within my own art style. Hope you enjoyed and Ill see you in the next post. MissDoomie x Comments are closed.
