June 2023 Membership Highlights
June 21, 2023
Yesterday was the June Member Livestream.
We discussed:
- NFTs and the social media NFT scam.
- Cutting custom mats with the Logan Mat Cutter.
- Single Page Binding -- i.e. binding single loose pages of finished artwork into a single book. I actually have complete step-by-step tutorials for several different types of single page bindings in the A Year of Gelatin Printing Online Class.
- Composed Prints: Portfolio (pictured above in the first image of this post)
- Drawn & Sketched: Post-Bound
- Just Paper: Coptic Stitch - This lesson is for signatures, but you can use a coptic stitch for single pages (detail photo below).
-
- Stamps & Texture Plates: Tag Binding
- Simple Acrylic Paint Monoprints: Crown Binding (pictured below)
- We went over several different methods for printing with DIY foam stamps, including ink, paint, gelatin printing, and water soluble crayons.
- Finally, I demonstrated a decollage technique that I'm currently experimenting with. It's very much in the not-ready-for-public-consumption phase of exploration and I love that I get to share it with members!
The June personal vlog is full of family life, including a weekend trip to Vermont, my Jet Pens haul, some projects I'm working on, and lots more daily life fun!
The June SVG of the month is a cut file for a stencil that makes the gorgeous pattern you see on these papers:
