@meldewey_photos final response, and the last response of #TCLVirtualResidency ! Mel’s use of @1962AB’s paper investigates these fresh flowers using various media giving great results.

My final response for #TCLVirtualResidency with @TCLcollective using items from @1962AB #Printmaker.
2 pieces of Canaletto paper used for cyanotypes with fresh dog daisies, calendula and St Johns Wort. No.3 a drawing with ink & caran d'ache. No.4 tracing paper became a lino cut.

Further #cyanotype experiment from @meldewey_photos . This one is on folded, dampened paper sent by @paulahickeyart for #TCLVirtualResidency. Gorgeous flowers giving ghosted images on the resulting indigo-tone print.

3rd response for #TCLVirtualResidency with @TCLcollective using the items from @paulahickeyart #fineartist.
Using the 'folded' paper & pipette!
Fresh flowers were added to the cyanotype, exposed for 4hrs resulting in an incredibly vivid outcome with ghostly shadows & highlights.

Looking forward to collating my #wip and writing the #narrative for my responses for #TCLVirtualResidency with @TCLcollective this week.

@1962AB and @sgwright55 are both printmakers who often use references to place and space within their work. This is reflected in Ann's response to the handmade paper sent by Sue.

#printmaking #bookbinding

[Ann Barrass @1962AB]

My final response for #TCLVirtualResidency with @TCLcollective. @sgwright55 sent handmade paper. With one sheet I made a tiny pamphlet stitch #book of ink drawings and on the other a #linocut which printed almost as ancient symbols. Both pieces are inspired by Millennium Wood.

[TCL Art Collective @TCLcollective]

This week on #TCLVirtualResidency we are featuring @1962AB. Ann is usually a drypoint #printmaker @leedsprintcoop. Her experimental work shared here explores other media. Search #TCLVirtualResidency across social media to see more.

Next from @1962AB is work using @paulahickeyart 's folded paper, hinting at how the presentation of a piece alters our perception of it.

[Ann Barrass @1962AB]

My response to @paulahickeyart 's dampened paper for #TCLVirtualResidency w/ @TCLcollective .Usually I print on damp paper!Here I used a direct method to make marks, ink with hawthorn and bracken leaves from Millennium Wood. The folded paper invited me to present it as 3D objects

[TCL Art Collective @TCLcollective]

For @sgwright's final piece for #TCLVirtualResidency, she layered up plant materials with pieces of Canaletto paper received from @1962AB and some rusty, inky steel etchingplates. Sue then boiled them up for several hours in vinegar and water to produce these gorgeous #ecoprints

[TCL Art Collective @TCLcollective]

Our featured artist for #TCLVirtualResidency this week is printmaker @sgwright55 . We’ll be featuring some of Sue’s detailed map-like pieces. Search #TCLVirtualResidency across social media to see more!

[TCL Art Collective @TCLcollective]

@sgwright55’s 3rd piece for #TCLVirtualResidency also references #mapping. Sue used @paulahickeyart’s folded wet paper which she pressed between two steel etching plates, adding some iron filings and pins. Rust! She then etched it to create a print reminiscent of an antique map.

[TCL Art Collective @TCLcollective]

Our final piece from @paulahickeyart is an innovative take on the #cyanotype process in response to materials sent by @meldewey_photos during #TCLVirtualResidency.

[Paula Hickey @paulahickeyart]

This is my response to cyanotype paper sent by @meldewey_photos
as part of @TCLcollective #TCLVirtualResidency. I really enjoyed applying this process to some of the folding techniques I have been working on lately. https://t.co/JqzpO9kEgF

These ink marks made by @paulahickeyart as part of #TCLVirtualResidency perfectly capture the delicacy of @CarolSowden ‘s artichoke seed carriers, which were used to create them.

[Paula Hickey @paulahickeyart]

This is my response to a collection of artichoke seed heads sent by @CarolSowden
as part of @TCLcollective #TCLVirtualResidency. I used one to fashion a fine-haired paint brush, and drew a series of horizontal lines. Exciting to test non-traditional materials.
