can you print onto fabric like that?
cutting yourself with those blades hurts alot, that thing take whole chunks of finger with it. I remember doing this at school when I was like 12.
i was wondering if block printing would have the same effect on silk fabric?
he’s hott
Pretty cool idea
@Zai5nah rbs on vacation they said that in a previous vid hell be back and YESSS he is sooooooooooooooooooo cute
wheres rob?
what happened to rob?!
he is so fucking cute
Rubberland? sounds a little too kinky, I think I’ll go with the art supply store instead.
but thank you anyway
@frabjousness You get it from the rubber making people from the rubber making factory in Rubberland, MA… USA made of course.
Where can you get the lino blocks…. is there a place on the internet. I did this years ago in girl scouts… I bought the tools and haven’t found blocks…. I really want to create my own prints… HELP me
You can get the rubber blocks at any art supply store that sells printmaking materials.
we do this at my local art school, but because of the… uhh… YOUNGER artists attending, one girl sliced her hand open O___O”
I did this in art class too! It’s harder than it looks!!!
i just did that in art!!
i the block lookd cooler than the print.
what is the rubber block stuff he’s using? where do you get it?
Meg, you look like you lost weight! I haven’t been following Threadbanger as closely as I used to, but if this was one of your New Year’s resolutions (I think it was one of Corrine’s), congrats!
Oh, I love printmaking! Great episode! Also, water based inks are more environmentally friendly, and way easier to clean. However, the print doesn’t look as good as it does with oil based ink.
Personally, I love oil based inks.But you have clean oil based inks with mineral spirits, which can get really fumey, so do so in a well ventilated area.
Rubber’s way easier to carve! I don’t think you’ll have the same slipping issues here!
I did this in highschool with hardwood, it was a really really tough and intracate design that took weeks to carve out…
Mad dull…. OR MAD Cute? xD I love print making.
your what needs you?
jesus that guy was mad dull lol
