We have finished the testing phase of our printmaking now, with a photogram, screen print, mono print and a pinhole camera image. Im still a bit ambivalent as to which methods I prefer, but at least now I know my options. The stars were a stencilled screen print, then I used the covered stencil to create the inverse mono print, and the bottom is a mono print background that I created by painting a base of black ink onto glass, and then sponging on some purple, red and white colours. I left the ink texture blotchy and so when I printed this first one onto paper, the blotches came through too. I re-used the same ink for a second and third print to test the diminishing returns and got increasingly more black showing through. Once the backgrounds dried I went back in with the star stencil and printed silver stars onto them.
