Here is one of them, butterfly prints using the leaves of a Ginkgo tree growning in my back garden. A lot of the leaves look very like the wings of butterflies to me, so I chose some of the smaller ones and used them to print images on my gelatin plate. The background is a texture plate of open weave fabric that I made several years ago. <br /><p></p>mycamerandme365http://www.blogger.com/profile/02261510194363736776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241590835918960079.post-71792592297558778182024-01-24T17:09:00.001+11:002024-01-24T17:09:15.651+11:00Continuing Project.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv0hdbz_ZAUqpXZLTk4Z8RQyZEu0XZ2HJgCXIu1sNwlD9O_gg-avoemG45UuUY1O0PP4iQuMi2zjrClqJxR1YrSDSKXt1Oq7Ms6QLjzcQ4CyakbMoNxRTAjCkInJV7VPsgyd93XqKl4vf3rYNIafxdEpY4kvDGdjg_EKQWmLZWoulcvzLx6MHi4Ereiig/s2902/multi%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2902" data-original-width="2788" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv0hdbz_ZAUqpXZLTk4Z8RQyZEu0XZ2HJgCXIu1sNwlD9O_gg-avoemG45UuUY1O0PP4iQuMi2zjrClqJxR1YrSDSKXt1Oq7Ms6QLjzcQ4CyakbMoNxRTAjCkInJV7VPsgyd93XqKl4vf3rYNIafxdEpY4kvDGdjg_EKQWmLZWoulcvzLx6MHi4Ereiig/s320/multi%201.jpg" width="307" /></a></div>Here are all 4 of the centre and side page spreads for the new book.

My previous entries have been books featuring insects in general and beetles in particular. Below are some preliminary prints on a completely different, and for me, unusual topic. The book is going to be an 'expanding accordion' book, which features a little bit of sewing of spines, and I think it will make an effective display of the prints, both sides of which will be seen. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTfu-kbyNfMInQt4AGiXDYNOq3C8pSWxhL3WNFXdmpEkpMD6wjnJT4vWiO4W3iuJS9SyYP-yFTzAKm1Ta5_WO1loVMkKpxC5acieHUfLOCGCLc1qPfWws6l2_JLduhIqxmcp9tqtQlAfKcvUUtQQZjP3IsJ6ueuxJqKR26UHJueIFIx8_Alw4tuEOpGwg/s1200/Worlds%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="616" data-original-width="1200" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTfu-kbyNfMInQt4AGiXDYNOq3C8pSWxhL3WNFXdmpEkpMD6wjnJT4vWiO4W3iuJS9SyYP-yFTzAKm1Ta5_WO1loVMkKpxC5acieHUfLOCGCLc1qPfWws6l2_JLduhIqxmcp9tqtQlAfKcvUUtQQZjP3IsJ6ueuxJqKR26UHJueIFIx8_Alw4tuEOpGwg/s320/Worlds%201.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-_oalBNW6KLYFrTHbxoVOfaAvxlD_clIawSwiIlig877ytk_WhS9wi7ZYNDZkKbT-HIlqAHSfzTCOKuBtWYIwyQPFbvARi84LPROk1Kg95l6p0YLGhbxTKrhq00HmcVv5VltJgpeVQTtpwoTrx7MOvrvFeJ1V0zCi2i9SWZMGGveNrCp904XSv56V60/s1299/World%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1299" data-original-width="1283" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT-_oalBNW6KLYFrTHbxoVOfaAvxlD_clIawSwiIlig877ytk_WhS9wi7ZYNDZkKbT-HIlqAHSfzTCOKuBtWYIwyQPFbvARi84LPROk1Kg95l6p0YLGhbxTKrhq00HmcVv5VltJgpeVQTtpwoTrx7MOvrvFeJ1V0zCi2i9SWZMGGveNrCp904XSv56V60/s320/World%202.jpg" width="316" /></a></div><br />I'm using a lot of metallic paint on the gel plate, making it very hard to photograph, perhaps scanning is the way to go.<br /><p></p>mycamerandme365http://www.blogger.com/profile/02261510194363736776noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241590835918960079.post-63088697122952272642023-12-12T16:51:00.002+11:002023-12-12T16:51:33.524+11:00Butterflies Galore!<p> I've loved butterflies my entire life and can never get enough of them into my art.

This is only one name for this technique, but it's a good one given how the book works. We were told that all the items for the book would be supplied with the exception of the prints to be used, so I just bundled up a pile of old prints in 2 different colourways, orange and green and hoped that I would have enough suitable prints to make the little book. I did and below is the result, first the front cover with the pages folded and then the book opened out.<br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv69s6qmyu9W8HuBPu2lCcgVnwq_HtAqZhuaLH3QUruMe5bxSmopdthRNOv8GiXqq7DMDYcE6lWyvveFoSRTVJDMS6pDlUBCfZoAd0vC3-MDNCSWj4nN9Jfk8ne5ZKdIkVwV5RKhVnfEoIFSGuzO3A_v20CQPNY9byYNMCqkLHnnFGHwDPxEP1bAwOI9A/s640/IMG_0568.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv69s6qmyu9W8HuBPu2lCcgVnwq_HtAqZhuaLH3QUruMe5bxSmopdthRNOv8GiXqq7DMDYcE6lWyvveFoSRTVJDMS6pDlUBCfZoAd0vC3-MDNCSWj4nN9Jfk8ne5ZKdIkVwV5RKhVnfEoIFSGuzO3A_v20CQPNY9byYNMCqkLHnnFGHwDPxEP1bAwOI9A/s320/IMG_0568.jpg" width="200" /></a></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1hFzrNyD9koOmjwSmB8TAQykbX1FoSmc8PhwtZvFABJb5LD7N8f4I6rMXoHHQzHqQ518NbxtvARVopfCwxe1vnvzTs3qKrbwvwETtQmNP6a_KEtgU3dl_13VWTFMHaCGgvO0LnhdYU1mR6Xj9DtIKgiPDTGa4frn_WepHtgiCEX4NsQ_VzBnxX0Qx_FE/s640/IMG_0571.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="316" data-original-width="640" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1hFzrNyD9koOmjwSmB8TAQykbX1FoSmc8PhwtZvFABJb5LD7N8f4I6rMXoHHQzHqQ518NbxtvARVopfCwxe1vnvzTs3qKrbwvwETtQmNP6a_KEtgU3dl_13VWTFMHaCGgvO0LnhdYU1mR6Xj9DtIKgiPDTGa4frn_WepHtgiCEX4NsQ_VzBnxX0Qx_FE/s320/IMG_0571.jpg" width="320" /></a>After making the book in class I decided to use up parts of old eco

The final touches were made with tiny daisy flowers from the nature strips, more weeds. I usually press and dry vegetation before printing with it, but this time I used fresh foliage and flowers. The Oxalis flowers are very fragile, so I could only print with them once before the flowers fell off, but that was enough. The daisies too started to fall apart after 1 or 2 dabs onto the paper.<br /><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsh81uNPrQbXKPoct3gb2_swqQ6IS5BwNZhh6Z9KwBunLO51Ny0c9ktNLx_rxhbOYjBOC8PpXLNLvtbVDrTo043IXqn8pQG1bBWCNHBFLu7DQc9KaSiF8cZNIfuBmyB9LyBXGQJiU9ScifosrOzJ5NXzNfaZFzUSfnL5OvTvEJqIAnN9nYMtju9VNFIhg/s1100/Lakes%20Edge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="763" data-original-width="1100" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsh81uNPrQbXKPoct3gb2_swqQ6IS5BwNZhh6Z9KwBunLO51Ny0c9ktNLx_rxhbOYjBOC8PpXLNLvtbVDrTo043IXqn8pQG1bBWCNHBFLu7DQc9KaSiF8cZNIfuBmyB9LyBXGQJiU9ScifosrOzJ5NXzNfaZFzUSfnL5OvTvEJqIAnN9nYMtju9VNFIhg/s320/Lakes%20Edge.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Here I went back to an earlier print of the light on water and added several different prints from fresh blades of grass.

I was determined to have another try, so went around the garden collecting flowers and leaves, cutting paper and organising supplies for the trial. The size of the paper is always limited by the size of the pot that they have to go into, so after a couple of bundles boiled in an old aluminium pot, I found that I had an old baking dish that was conveniently already rusted in places.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWe0otoyT989-a9eqYMuOcDYEMcyeF9AJyIrPs7gM04c0nofErtqFuWdSA423FlLFK_qHMPqZgrSDsiCTKmkgOpDslJ_QG4gjxY3yUjRFLCabDTtiXEyE7fJr6uJXDowmUX35B2sRP4OzJSvfr0VYXu-7P6z6leGVfghBRm2yuw4fP43nnoZQJ-JFN/s1100/Eco%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="1100" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWe0otoyT989-a9eqYMuOcDYEMcyeF9AJyIrPs7gM04c0nofErtqFuWdSA423FlLFK_qHMPqZgrSDsiCTKmkgOpDslJ_QG4gjxY3yUjRFLCabDTtiXEyE7fJr6uJXDowmUX35B2sRP4OzJSvfr0VYXu-7P6z6leGVfghBRm2yuw4fP43nnoZQJ-JFN/s320/Eco%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCLc8zzytuwmpcraLI4wKvAzEX-iu217JtQh9Jvmp3yssuDIN4FiUDVJckXxhfbIUD2LNxVYPfbHtX1YY3-ahaV6qCujv4HTOQXizWV2hsbZSMaRclJfMlqSoBkoX0XHzrgPNhjnhkPtXnXXuwrFGSMGlkq8HP2WQvS_LZCScKBF_dzzV5U7vi0BVV/s1100/Eco%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="825" data-original-width="1100" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCLc8zzytuwmpcraLI4wKvAzEX-iu217JtQh9Jvmp3yssuDIN4FiUDVJckXxhfbIUD2LNxVYPfbHtX1YY3-ahaV6qCujv4HTOQXizWV2hsbZSMaRclJfMlqSoBkoX0XHzrgPNhjnhkPtXnXXuwrFGSMGlkq8HP2WQvS_LZCScKBF_dzzV5U7vi0BVV/s320/Eco%201.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />I had 2 pieces of reasonably heavy perspex to use as covers for the bundle, so I thought that the boiling would not be a problem.

The exhibition is called 'Collection Reflection'. There was an evening back in October last year when print makers who were interested in the idea, visited the museum and chose a sculpture or artifact that 'spoke' to them with the idea of making an artwork of some kind to reflect this interest.

All of this has resulted in a pile of prints, not all of which are worth framing or exhibiting. Some of the prints which appear to be failures, do however have parts of them that pass muster, and so I have been creating cards from these, not from the originals, but from photos of the originals, as I may yet add to the originals.</p><p>Below are a group of photos of prints that I made into cards recently.
