Reductive monoprint - who knew?  Not I, until I watched this class this morning.  Gemma's teaching style is so full of joy and enthusiasm that I couldn't wait to give this a try.  

 

I have a bunch of pieces of plastic that came in curtain panels I bought.  I rolled my ink out onto one of these and it worked quite well.  I used regular printing ink by Speedball and a 4" Speedball brayer.  I used a piece of cardboard, some Qtips and a tissue to manipulate the ink and printed onto thicker printer paper that is very smooth.

 

I didn't roll out enough ink on my first try, but the second run worked perfectly.  I'm excited to do some more of these!  Thanks for a great class, Gemma!
