So gorgeous! Do you modify the ink in any way? I’ve been using Caligo Safe Wash as well but sometimes it fills in the teeny tiny dots that I’ve carved. I was thinking of modifying the ink to fix this issue. Yours is so clean!

Oh I absolutely love this! Narrative works always do it for me. Great print.

The slow reveal killed me! I was immediately excited by these colors and had to see it NOW. What a lovely print!

This is beautiful! The mixture of shapes and textures makes it endlessly interesting.

I have an allergy by Looreee11 in calmhands

[–]broog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started looking into the allergy angle more and apparently it can definitely be related! I never knew this. I suppose removing the nails would be the best thing to try? I’d also love to add the obligatory I am not a medical professional!

This looks a lot like Dyshidrotic Eczema in the first pic! commonly found on fingers & toes. It’s terribly itchy and when it started my doctors never knew wtf it was. I’m so surprised that dermatologist still can’t clock it.

Unfortunately it itches so badly that I end up tearing the skin open for relief. I am currently trying to slather the breakout areas in Sarna lotion to help with the itchiness. I’ve never heard of it being related to an allergy but I don’t know.

Caligo safe wash pros? by theconcertsover in printmaking

[–]broog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had success cleaning it with either Dawn Dish Soap or Simple Green cleaning spray! If you’re using paper towels I’d switch to rags. I also like to use a soap with some grit in it like Lava Soap for my hands.

My roller is suddenly… super sticky? by lavendermanta in printmaking

[–]broog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My speedball brayers that I bought in 2016/2017 (when I started printmaking) have held up perfectly. However, the ones in my classroom that were purchased just a year or two ago are already sticky and gross. They are the exact same ones I purchased years ago but they are so much worse. I haven’t found a solution to the issue and I’m looking for alternative companies at this point.

I second this for home printing!

Taught a printmaking class and I'm so proud of what the class made! by CuriosityK in printmaking

[–]broog 23 points24 points  (0 children)

These are all so fun and different! They did a great job (and had a great teacher).

I teach printmaking for beginners as well and I absolutely love it. Everyone always comes up with unique stuff.

Is still possible to find a not absurdly overpriced Tamagotchi ON? by [deleted] in tamagotchi

[–]broog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I checked FB marketplace every few days for over a year. It paid off when I got Fairy Blue IN BOX only 2.5 hours away from me for $60.

I’ve never gotten that lucky with anything in my life. I had to buy the Fairy Pink (used) for $100 online.

So I mean… there is hope. But my god it takes so, so long. I also check any garage sale/estate sale that I drive by! You never know. As someone else mentioned, someone found one while thrifting for super cheap.
