Down below is a slide show of my print making process. My print design is my logo, with some parts taken off to make it more simple. I confronted many obstacles through the process. Everything was going very well until I went to actually print. My very first print to test it turned out really well. Then I went to do my second print, and it didn't turn out at all as i wanted it to. So, I thought about it and went back to carve deeper. I did a few more prints and I didn't like any of them. I then talked with Mrs. Meyer and found out that purple printing ink is different from others. It was more tacky and thick then the others. I put water in it to loosen it up and it worked! I got 3 good prints from the watered purple ink and 2 good prints from the normal ink. If I had another chance to do this, I would make something more simple design and find the perfect ink that I like. I would also cut deeper to start with. One thing that made a big difference to everything is warming up the block before you cut. It makes it so much easier to cut because it gives you a smooth surface.

I liked how you talked about finding solutions to make your printing process easier and better. It was a good idea to simplify your logo because it would have been a lot of extra work. Your print turned out really good. Would you recommend this project to other people in the future?

I really enjoyed reading your blog. I can tell you put time and effort into it. What a great job! I like how you explained the problems that you had along the way and how you solved them afterwards. I like how your logo turned out also. Do you have anything about your logo? How did you come up with it? Besides explaining your logo project, I think your blog is wonderful! One other thing I would change is the numbers in your printmaking project. Since they are less the ten, I would write them out. I love how your background colors from your blog flow with your past projects. I think that it is a very clever idea. Keep up the good work!
