Create Personal Prints With Lino Blocks

July 25, 2013 ShellyStokes

If you are like me, you like to have some supplies on hand for those inevitable rainy days – or snow days for that matter. Or, for days when you simply want to play. One of my favorite things to do is to make a new texture that I can incorporate into future projects. It […]

Multicolor Screen Prints

January 30, 2013 ShellyStokes

When my sister was visiting a few weeks ago, she wanted to experiment with a technique she learned from Jane Dunnewold. The best name I can give this is Multicolor Screen Printing with Interfacing Stencils. I’m not going to give you the blow-by-blow on how to do this. I know this information is included in […]

Linoleum Prints 4: Gelatin Prints on Fabric

December 5, 2012 ShellyStokes

When I was a kid, I just loved Jello. I loved the colors and the flavors;  and of course, I loved the squishy texture. What kid doesn’t? Well, I still love to play with gelatin – in the studio – not at the dinner table. If you’re not familiar with Gelatin Prints, you may think […]

Tool Talk: Gelatin Plates for Printmaking

November 29, 2012 ShellyStokes

Now that winter is setting in, I’m ready to get back to my print-making experiments. My next project is to make positive and negative prints with my hand-carved linoleum blocks. (If you missed the articles on carving your own stamps from linoleum blocks, click over to the blog and search on “linoleum”.) Before we jump […]

Linoleum Prints #3: A Peek At The Past

November 14, 2012 ShellyStokes

Moving is not one of my favorite activities. Especially when I have lived somewhere for a long time. But I have to admit that packing (and purging) are useful activities. I discover all manner of treasures that I’ve totally forgotten about – especially in my studio space. When we sold our home last year, I […]

Tool Talk: Make Your Own Daubers

October 25, 2012 ShellyStokes

There are a lot of daubers available in craft stores, but most of them aren’t worth the powder to blow them to you-know-where! Fortunately, you can make a lifetime supply of fantastic daubers with a few simple materials. I’ll be honest, I never gave daubers much of a thought until I was in a class […]

Shadow Rubbings

October 24, 2012 ShellyStokes

Carved linoleum blocks are great for making Paintstik rubbings, but sometimes we want an image that is a little more subtle. No problem. Grab a foam dauber (or a stiff stencil brush) and you’ll make ‘shadow’ rubbings in no time. As I mentioned last week, I was doing some Paintstik rubbing experiments with my carved […]

Linoleum Prints #1: Paintstik Rubbings

October 17, 2012 ShellyStokes

A few months ago, I started thinking about printmaking. This is a topic I’ve wanted to explore for a number of years, and I decided that it would be an excellent winter project. The snow is not flying just yet, but my carved linoleum sheets have been whispering in my ear every time I walk […]

Make Your Mark: Did you practice this week?

September 20, 2012 ShellyStokes

Practice may not make perfect (at least in my world), but it sure makes thing easier when it comes to carving linoleum blocks and sheets. I had a lovely ‘home alone’ weekend. With no worries about what my dear husband wanted to do, I took refuge in my studio on Saturday evening and carved 2 […]

Make Your Mark: Carving Basics

September 13, 2012 ShellyStokes

I’m the first to admit that I’m not a natural-born artist. Just like you, I have to start at the beginning, learn the basic skills, and practice. Heavy on the practice. Sound familiar? Good – I’m glad to know it’s not just me. Linoleum carving is no different. A little practice goes a long, long […]

New Products: Easy-To-Cut Linoleum

September 1, 2012 ShellyStokes

In preparation for my series of articles on printmaking, we’ve added Easy-to-Cut Linoleum blocks and sheets to our Online Store. Most of the time I’ll refer to them as ‘lino’ products rather than linoleum. (It’s so much faster to type…) [If you are a shop owner, the answer to your question is YES. The Easy-To-Cut […]
