A mini-photo essay: wrapping paper, from conception to completion




As a way to get more inspiration, I spent a couple of days doing a two minute drawing exercise. I set myself a couple of basic rules (two minutes, each drawing unique and no more than two colours) and each hour I did a drawing. The picture above is some pages from my sketchbook.



From my sketchbook I drew the pattern out onto graph paper.



I used graphite paper to transfer the image from the graph paper to the lino block



The cut block.


Laid out materials: brown paper, rollers, lino block, ink, plastic thing for spreading out ink


Printing in progress
