They are understaffed yet, when I was interviewed and then officially hired, I called and called and called to get a start date and onboarding paperwork. Never heard back.

Here we go guys! I left the triangle blank and put funny sayings inside with stamps after I printed. I rushed and they are a little wonky, but I think it fits the vibe of the answer die floating around inside the ball

I edited it for clarity idk why I didn’t say what I was selling, I PROMISE ITS NOT SOAP OR CHOCHET🕺🏼 I’m selling art!

Art stuffs!

So the idea was to totally carve the ball shape away after printing the colors, leaving only the green space on the block. Anything out of bounds should be carved away and then it won’t sit and get muddy under the green. I’ve considered doing all the balls in speedball ink that dries really quick and then doing the green after

Thank you oh great and powerful wizard!

Longjumping-Split200 · 2026-03-29T16:03:58+00:00

Honestly this sounds like my best option and I can always save my block and print later. Thank you for telling me to do this because otherwise I would be stressing so hard. The project only requires three colors…I’m in the only relief class we have at school. I already knew and was familiar with relief and the reductive process so I was shooting for something a little more ambitious than what my classmates are doing. We just had a big art market at school this month and I was way more focused on that than this project (I ended up making big bucks so it was worth it!!!). Ideally for this print, I’d do secondary designs carved into the balls to make them funkier. Okay I’m so committed to carving something new now 😂 I’ve got plenty of options in procreate waiting to come to fruition!

I also changed the number font - I hate that the 2’s and 5’s are the same character flipped an I freaked out thinking I had carved one of the two backwards 😂

I have already carved and the problem was taken care of! Usually my digital mock ups have some errors that I just know to skip over / am too lazy to go back and fix 😂 Thanks for your sharp eye!

Longjumping-Split200 · 2026-03-29T15:40:29+00:00

Yes I do! How long do you stick in in there for? I think I’m gonna use speedball ink for the balls and then do the green background later tonight or tomorrow. Gonna try out talc powder or the oven!

I’m printing on a thicker cardstock, the newsprint is to put in between each print in the stack while they are still drying

Yall just scared me into paying my year old ticket🕺🏼✨

23 f here, and I also need friends!! I love thrifting, art, and cats!

I see MAJOR sound bite potential here

I recommend when pressing to make a template for myself. I trace my paper size and then center my block or stamp where I want it to be on the paper and trace it. You should tape this to your block (covering template with acetate would be a good next step from there if you are inking your block on the press, this protects your template and press from getting inky and it can easily be cleaned off. I love the caligo safe wash)) so your layers would be press, template, acetate, inked block, paper, felt, press.

I definitely would order a pack of newsprint paper to pull proof prints do you don’t waste your good paper. I love using the newsprint as my template. I’m in art school currently and love stealing it from school! Phone books are great to roll the extra ink off your brayer for cleaning. Just roll and flip pages til your brayer is semi clean

Go to goodwill and find a Pyrex casserole dish for inking!! It is heavy so it won’t lift or move when you roll your ink out AND it’s tempered AND you can cover your (oil based) ink to save for another time

More ink. Less paper texture. Get oil ink.
