we had to take this image and draw it onto a wood block then carve out the white area...after we were through we ran the wood block through an ink press and created pretty prints on paper! this is what mine ended up looking like...
considering this was my first time working with wood block prints i was pretty happy with the result. i actually took this and printed it on a few shirts as well...so cute!! have any of you worked with wood block printing before? i'd love to see your work :) XO, lindsay
It's amazing! I really think it turned out great - Leonie, my daughter, just looked at it and said "wow, Mom, that's awesome!"!

I took a printmaking class in high school (wanted to take more art but band and sign language got in the way) and we did something similar, only with some other material instead of wood blocks. Mine came out pretty good. Don't have the image with me, though. Otherwise, I'd post it on my blog and post the link here :)
ReplyDeleteThat's GORGEOUS!!!! I'm slowly but surely redecorating my bathroom in brown zebra print. I absolutely love zebra print... as you know LOL
ReplyDeleteLove this!! isn't it fun to be able to create in school? I love having that freedom to be around creative minds! You are so talented!!
ReplyDeleteWow! You did such an amazing job! I've seen a lot of woodblock prints, coming from an artistically persuaded family who had friends who made them and I'm an art history major, but I've personally never done them. All I know is they sound super hard. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO AWESOME!! I love zebras and zebra print! So cool you made it using a wood carving!!!
ReplyDeleteVERY impressive, girl! I'd def. wear a shirt with this on it!
