Ooh I'll check him out, thanks ML! 🤗💖✨ There is a speedball starter kit for not too much more than this one was, that comes with a roller and ink but less blocks... I feel like I should have looked a little harder before making my purchase, but what can you do.

Thanks Xan! 🤗💖✨ And I know I know, cut *away* from my fingers! LOL

@@sketchbookscheming thanks Marcy! 🤗💖✨ I almost didn’t keep that segment in, but it really was integral to my process

@@ChantelleArts oh please try! I know yours would come out great! 🤗💖✨

Haha, sorry not sorry! I know what you mean about the pro’s… I see it on Landscape Artist of the Year and I get so nervous for them! I’ll keep using separate pieces of board, thanks, haha

Thanks! 🤗💖✨ I’ve seen people use the back of a spoon too for pressure. I might start there!

After you get a brayer I recommend speedball types easy cleaning up plus they dont squeak as bad, you might want to look at get a baron baren speedball that can help with pushing your paper into ink on the top it will help evening out the top pressure to help with over all ink coverage into the paper. I've use both they work good..

You’re a font of knowledge Natty! 🤗💖✨ I’m definitely going to get a Speedball roller and some inks. I’ve never heard of printing with Reynolds wrap and cola printing! Will have to look that up!

​​@@melissamartinartyes I got into different types of printing in college I took a CAD class for landscaping the computers were huge and it was frustrating it took hours to do a landscape blueprint up when I could do a drawing faster by hand and doubly frustrating as I like to work with my hands instead of clunky poking at computer keys and tiny computer screens I offset the frustration with the hunking huge computer that did up the blueprints of landscape with learning different styles of art print work with your hands I fell in love with all the different types, when I was younger I used to go watch the typesetters do newspapers printing for our local newspaper it was really awesome in high school to watch them, it's sad but understandable how much newsprinting has changed. But I think that's how I fell in love with different forms of printing calligraphy and fonts..and that's a whole different category of art that just speaks to my creative art soul. Theres 24 different types of categories in print world.i cant pick which one I like the best because to me I just like all art work.

Thanks Elise! 🤗💖✨
