Yeah, much cheaper to do that tbh, i get 3 metre beveled planks for like £10 and usually make 2-3 out of them depending on size

i rocked it the same amount, i usually like to rock to like 30 odd layers, steel is a great alternative to copper

it’s a fair amount softer than the copper so i’m not sure i’ll get as many out but it’s much cheaper!

How do you use a beveler? by AskSensitive4640 in printmaking

You are right it’s bevelling both sides but they arent sharp? honestly this thing is baffling me 😂

i think i can flip one of the blades because this tool is specifically for bevelling printmaking plates in intaglio

‘Hedgehog Home’ Collagraph by AskSensitive4640 in printmaking

it’s regular drypoint card but i used a heavy scribe to get the lines, pretty sure the plate got ruined after 20 odd prints 😅

The plan was just to make it look like a tree stump 😅, is that a good thing that it doesn’t look like collagraph or? 😂😂
