Fine Art Printmaking & Collage

Confinement Collage Day 42

Karen Baden Thapa

Note: I found some old drafts and I am posting them out of order.

Our “shelter in place” began on March 17th and  I have been trying to make a collage a day.  After a few weeks, I realized that the only way to do a collage each day was to make quick, simple, pieces.  So, now I am finishing one every few days and they are more complicated and hopefully more interesting.  

Materials are in short supply so I have been improvising.  I prefer to use papers that I have made myself through printmaking but I have branched out into marbling.  

I got a Suminagashi style ink set and had fun trying out different papers to see what looks best.  Right now I prefer the heavier Rives BFK printmaking paper.
