Monoprinting shapes – Part 2

Building on the prints from my previous post I created a range of multi-layered monoprints, sticking to a reduced colour palette and using only lines and circles.  Threads of varying thicknesses and types were laid to achieve either resists or laid patterns.  Circles, both the positive shapes and outer masks were incorporated, enabling me to form solid, translucent or chance markings when combined with threads.

A selection of these prints was then made, ready to combine into a new book.

After some consideration I chose to construct a blizzard book using instructions I found on youtube.  This book style is easy to make, assuming you understand how to calculate the number of sections required and cut and fold accurately.

As my print paper was only 110gsm I chose to make a hard cover to help it stand without sagging.  Using previously painted paper I covered 2mm board, inserted the prints into the folded spine and attached the covers.
