Hi Viza,

Looks great - the colours are very fresh. At Pyramid Atlantic, in
Maryland, I learned to use Caran d'Ache crayons to make one of a kind
papers. You create the image on the block with the crayons, and then
form the sheet of paper and place it on the block while it's still wet
pulp. As the pulp forms into paper, it absorbs the pigment, and you
end up with a sheet of paper that has the image in the paper itself.

It never ceases to amaze me, the amount of information that is available on this list...we are a united great printmaking brain!
I have given up on white line.... it just does not look the way I want it to look and so will go back to printing the old fashioned hard way that in the end seems a whole lot easier. More cutting but way less printing frustration.
My best to all
Barbara

I've done something similar, a trick I picked up from Belinda Del Pesco in
printmaking lab awhile back. Water soluable crayons on plexiglass over an
image you're tracing (this is more of a monotype technique, but similar
results). Print as you would a monotype. You can get a ghost image or two.

I don't see why this wouldn't work with a woodblock too. Sounds like
something to try, thanx.

You papermakers slay me ! I can barely get my wood cut and inked, and print the thing on paper, and you folks are out there making the paper. Golden rod flowers , meadow rue, all kinds of greenery (+ other colors of course).

This sounds absolutely amazing to me. Wonderful, wonderful !! (What another universe opens up - for those up to the challenge, of course :o)

Viza, YES!
I just spent an entire morning marvelling! at the prints on the St. Judes
Gallery. They specialize in linocuts and there is also a separate link to
the woodcuts.
