So, I've finished an image for my trading card that I'm swapping with
students in my printmaking workshop. I decided to focus on Pythagoras
instead of Plato, just because a² + b² = c² seemed easy (our theme is
abstract and I chose abstract math). Besides, I
kept going on all these crazy paths reading about Plato and Socrates,
and I wanted this thing finished. In hindsight I'm not crazy about the eyebrows, but I need to forge ahead. We only have once class left...
I printed
formatted text on my laserjet and
used a blender pen
to transfer my text to my plate (which is Cel-tec--I skipped beveling too,
btw), then used a stylus to make the marks. I inked with Akua intaglio,
wiped with a phone book page, then printed on water-spritzed Arches 88.
To make into trading cards, I cut the prints into 2.5 x 7" strips, folded them in half, and
used
3M mounting adhesive
as my glue. My last step will be signing and numbering them.
