Duchess Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 I've been working on a complicated process of designing and 3D printing relief plates. Then using the plates those to create the basis of 1/1 editions with a common printed element. The common element here is ,very loosely, a 16th century caravel.
Stynky Tudor Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 Alright, I'm intrigued. How/What are you doing this exactly? 3D Printing a block print?

I call it a plate since I've only been doing them about 3mm thick. Start with a sketch Photograph it, since I don't have a scanner Bring it into photo software, clean it up into a two color image. Convert it to a 3D model (okay there's really like a dozen steps here, but you get the idea.) Print the 3D plate Use a printing press to print the image Paint. This step might involve various stages and resists depending on what I'm going. In this case, the basic image is just the line work of the ship. Everything else is added at the end.
Stynky Tudor Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 Very cool, thank you for sharing your process.
Mary Diamond Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 How fun! I love all the different interpretations, like a flip book of days… Oooh, shiny!
Mission Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 I want one. VG Starry Night version. 🙂 Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

Mission Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Oh, I thought you were still making them. VG - Van Gogh.
