Bird's Nest (Pink Version)/© Megan Frauenhoffer
Returning to color! Hurrah! I started this before I went on a month long vacation. Just completed last week. It’s a one color silkscreen with conte/color pencil, spray paint, and tea stain added to it. Far simpler than it implies. When you see the print in real life, parts the paper’s texture fights the print is serendipitiously pretty (it looks like crayon/oil pastel in those areas). It’s sad that I’m becoming an expert at making bad prints look good. I’m working on striping down the techniques and just working on more immediate drawings/prints. I’ve started to work with some collaging, I hope to post that soon.
Edit: I just realized this post is being pinged by 1xRun (see link in the comments), here’s the version that this print was originally based on, an etching that I did only an edition of 3 before destroying the plate:
