photography/printmaking.

20/09/2018

Inverted the negatives,
Im pretty happy with most of them.

Ive been thinking of how I may print my final pieces?????

Firstly I thought of an old scroll type looking way of displaying my images on the wall.
I still think this would be really gorgeous,

but  Im going to go with displaying the photo/prints on wood, with mod podge.
I have done this technique before, to create gifts for people, and I plan on doing more for my own wall.

In the weekend I shopped around for some nice pieces of wood to use, and i decided on 3 wooden chopping boards, $15 each at The Warehouse..

I will give them a light sand first then
print out the photos and pictures of prints i want on my wood.
cut them out.
Modge podge the top of my wood evenly.
apply pictures ink down and carefully press lightly.
Leave to dry for 24 hours.
Rub paper off with a wet clothe.
Apply another layer of Modge Podge on top.
Leave to dry.

I may burn around the outside of the wood, to create a funky burnt out boarder???
