Teapot Print, part 3, carving
Nov. 15th, 2005 02:02 pmThis is pretty image heavy, so most of it is behind a cut, I hope you don't mind. For the first time, we are venturing into a portion that requires some skill. All that means is this, don't be upset if it takes a few tries, you may need to practice to get it right.
But first, you'll see that we jump from the transferred woodblock from the last entry, to one that has more detail, and since I hate those things where they say "wasn't that easy?" and it's all messed up, and when they show the next picture, their mistakes are all gone, I'll show you what I did to touch up the xerox transfer.
I took another photocopy of the image, and I cut the dark areas out with an exacto knife, and made a stencil. I then lined the stencil up on the block and used a sharpie to color in the dark areas. Here is my stencil:
