MINIATURE CHAP OLYMPIAD





I can't remember if I mentioned or not but i'm in the process of creating a Miniature Chap Olympiad, as inspired by the regular size one I attended in July: http://www.thechapolympiad.com/ . It is currently under construction as you can see but I thought you might like to see the pretty tin that it will be inhabiting. £4 from the sunday market, bargain!

PRINTING TEST NUMBER 1




I nearly killed myself doing this, all to get an effect that you could definitely achieve in photoshop! Printing test numero uno. Having finished engraving the front cover of a copy of Vogue (graced by the gorgeous alexa chung - see previous post) I wanted to see if I could use it as a printing plate. I rubbed ink into all the scratch marks I had made and placed the plate on some paper upside down. then used a rolling pin to roll over the top and try and force the ink on to the paper below. Conclusion: there is a reason why people buy expensive printing presses.
