Stone Lithography!

Diving head-long into stone litho, and loving it! There are so many awesome resources on-line for lithography that combined with The Complete Printmaker (totally worth the $30 if you're even remotely interested in printmaking), I feel like I'm really learning a lot about all the possibilities of this process! It's funny, my faculty advisor for my thesis was trying to find a description of chine colle on-line for me today, and found a You Tube video. She looked at me and joked, "Why do we even go to schools anymore?" (By the way, chine colle is TOTALLY getting worked into my monotype work!)

Last year, another professor had sent me this excellent blog entry when I had a litho experiment go not-quite my way. A week or so ago, I found this video, also on You Tube on how to transfer photo copies onto litho stones.

I am just loving so much the versatility of this process. It's been another crazy productive week, and I've started working into some prints, stitching things together and taking the good ol' watercolors to others.
