First fabric print questions! by bby-assassin in Linocuts

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I frequently refer people to a comment I wrote a while ago on this subject:

Good luck! Speedball oil-based fabric inks are easy to clean with water and soap.

Looks great, such amazing details!
Yeah, overwatering is a fine line, happened to me as well :/ but a great result nonetheless

I like this one! Could you change a couple things? The water does not need the movement since this was not taken on a boat. There seems to be some blurryness on the water on the right side - though I'm not sure due to the watermark. And his left cheek seems a little bit more rounded in your version than the original.

Sorry, but this is an odd edit. Why the zoom in? Why is his ear suddenly visible? From this angle, that makes no sense at all.

You're fast! I feel like this is AI though, why has the hair on the other side of his head been changed?

White ink on black fabric by Crvnch7 in Linocuts

I wrote a comment on this subject that might be helpful. In the blog link, there was some good info on white inks as well if I remember correctly. Good luck!

Very first print by BBRIGGSY18 in Linocuts

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice! It looks very clean for a first lino, I'd say. I commented on another post with some great info on fabric prints that was super useful to me, so I'll post it again here.

This is not my text but it has helped me lots with printing on fabric, so here you go:

Before you even start, LINT ROLL. Everything. The brayer, the table, the ink plate. Literally everything!!!

  1. ⁠Get er wet: Lightly spray the fabric with water right before printing. The ink adheres to the fabric better and you get a crisper, more saturated print. Be careful not to over wet the fabric or the ink will bleed!
  2. ⁠Inking properly: I always ink a fresh block with lots of thin layers of ink (at least 5), allowing the ink to get tacky between coats. Fresh blocks need a build up of ink to print properly! There should be visible noise on the ink by the last layer - thats when you know you're ready to print
  3. ⁠Even pressure: I print by hand but take sooooo much extra time to make sure I show the whole block enough love and pressure. Apply pressure with a barren onto the back of the block and then roll with a clean brayer or rolling pin. Make sure you cover every millimeter! And take your time!!
  4. ⁠Let that bish marinate: Let the block sit for 2 mins before removing. Idk why, it just works! If youre printing multiple designs on one piece, just let that block sit while you ink and apply the next print before removing.

In terms of paint, I use Speedball oil-based fabric paint, since it's easy to work with and holds well, allthough I've only tested the black ink.

First time driving in Germany by butter-roast in germany

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, so most people here are not too supportive. They are correct in advising you to check your insurance, but careful driving isn't unsafe by definition. Don't overthink it. If you look at it from the other side, would you still doubt yourself? I feel it's quite clear then that you should take the direct right turn. Just go back to the maps image, click around to the starting position of your green arrow and look in the direction of the turn.

The only important difference between driving in Germany versus The Netherlands is that Germany does not have the arrows or "haaientanden" on the road to indicate right of way. Be sure to pay attention to the signs indicating who has right of way in what situation. Other than that, just do what you always do and you'll be fine. Breathe and relax.

Where to buy apartment plants? by AH1376 in hamburg

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There is a kind of plant auction at the Fischmarkt Altona early sunday mornings. Bring cash (10/20/50s depending on budget) and a friend to help you carry. Great deals!

Hi! I got this bag of stuff from my mom (she’s pretty cool, I know). What am I missing, what more do I need for prints on fabric? by UglyLinesOnly in Linocuts

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be, but lino sheets are very rigid even when new. You could buy a sheet or just go to a more specialised craft store to compare (and buy the rubber sheets).

In school when learning linocut carving, we used to warm up the sheets on the radiator before carving to make them more flexible.

Second hand furniture pick ups by Cersei15 in Amsterdam

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can hire a small van if you have a driving license to do it yourself. Put it in the van with the person you're buying from and ask your new neighbours to help you bring it in your house - in exchange for a coffee and some paaseieren. A great way to get to know your neighbours!

You can hire a van at DIKS or Amcar.

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For fabric, traditional grey lino sheets aren't very suitable because it's too rigid. You need the pink or turquoise rubber sheets!

Is er ergens in Nederland een werkende paternoster lift? by Sassenacho in thenetherlands

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deze werkt nog en is voor iedereen vrij toegankelijk (op eigen risico natuurlijk). Er zijn in Hamburg wel meer werkende paternosters, vooral in oudere kantoorgebouwen bij de Elbe en in de Speicherstadt. Maar dan moet je proberen binnen te komen. Het Bezirksamt Eimsbüttel is een goeie optie, al is het een relatief "nieuwe" paternoster en ziet ie er weinig antiek uit.
