monoprinting edit

   i

i made my edit by putting a picture of one of my prints on the computer, i filled the coffee beans in brown and then continued to do the same with the lid and circle design in the middle, i then changed the opacity to make the writing from the book come into the picture more, this made it better as i still had some added colour but you could still se the original paper. i also used a black paint brush tool to draw around the word coffee and the beans outline.

tea printing

in last lesson we used pictures of things related to tea and make our own prints, we did this by spreading ink on a large sheet of paper and placing another small sheet on top. we then placed a picture over that and traced it with a pen. when we peeled back out paper it showed the picture printed onto the small sheet of paper from it being pressed down into the ink.

tuesday 12th- today i carried on with my printing doing a few more, then i coloured them in.

tea

TEA.
tea is a hot drink made by infusing the dried crushed leaves of the tea plant in boiling water.
Tea looks very similar to a cup of coffee, to looks almost like dirty water in a cup. I don't really know what tea smells like as i never have it.
you can get different kinds of tea depending on what brand you buy from. some brands have plain types of tea when others have fruit flavours.
