Experiment with carving rubber

nicoleap (nicoleap) — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 13:41:15 -0700

My pen control is still pretty crude post injury and a friend suggested carving rubber blocks as its so soft it would be easier on my hand than a wood cut. So I did this little experiment earlier this week. The rubber was indeed very soft and smooth. Unfortunately its not very compatible with my woodcutting tools. So I did not quite get the finish I was after. I am going to try another rubber block soon with a different tool to see how that goes. The good news is the rubber went pretty well in the press. (much better than lino goes through my machines). Its been so long since I cracked open my inks they have developed really cool skins on top of the can. the last break from printing I had a lot of my ink spoilt so these funny little growths saved my ink and I am really greatful!

I am a Limited edition of 50 letterpress prints... It is the first print I have pulled in what feels like way to long! But for the first time in 6 months I have ink smudges on my arms, grease under my fingernails and turps on my apron. The world is as it should be. And I am so excited! For those of you who don't know the first week in october 2011 I suffered a hand and arm trauma which caused severe nerve damage in my right hand. After a 6 month hiatus I am back on the presses (As of 9.30am 6th of march 2012!). My hand writing and carving ability is still somewhat crude (or maybe it just leaves a little room for improvement)!. But it feels oh so good to be inky again. And my pen/knife/brush control is improving everyday. 190x130mm Hand carved in wood composite, printed 2 colour letterpress on 400gsm box board. This print was designed and produced here in Brisbane. Sold unframed and shipped in a handmade envelope (using upcycled print room waste) with a personalised thank you note (in pencil) on the back of your print. I am is available for sale http://nicoleap.bigcartel.com/product/i-am Printed on George my gordon franklin treadle press also pictured.
