We have finally got around to trying out some printing using the polystyrene. As with so many things it has been something I've wanted to try for a while. It seems like a great way of creating batches of thank you cards and such like. So, when my pizza came with some polystyrene packaging I knew exactly what to do with it!
Jessica drew a design on the board using a biro to create an imprint in the material. It was originally a person but Jess decided she just liked poking and squiggling so that's what she did. It's a strange sensation to carve into the polystyrene and I can understand her fascination but these would work beautifully with a less haphazard drawing or geometric design. She decided she wanted to use black paint for her printing today and she covered her image using a small foam roller. Then we covered the board with paper, rubbed firmly and peeled back to see the result...
Jess was very pleased that she could make exactly the same picture for as many people as she liked. The only trouble is that there are a lot of people she likes giving artwork to! Here are just a few of her prints hanging up to dry in the conservatory...
