Altered button-up shirt--1st time lino stamping on fabric!
Note: My camera HATES the color red and makes it appear as the most eye-searing hellfire color, but this shirt is actually a pleasant cherry-red. I tried to edit the pictures to depict the color more accurately, and I think the second pic comes closest.
This shirt began its journey in the thrift store as a salmon-pink button-up of nice quality. It was picked up by a goth, one who had BIG plans.
The shirt was dyed red to give it some new life. Then it got a cool eyeball print courtesy of a hand-carved linoleum stamp. Some crosses on the sleeves were added the same way, and some smaller crosses free-handed here and there between the eyes. But the shirt's journey was far from over.
The shirt got a row of silver spikes along the shoulders and collar before getting bedecked in a whole new set of buttons, changing out dye-tinged white with gold. Although gold hadn't been in the original plan, it just looked so nice with the shirt's red complexion. Gold chains were added to adorn the pocket to match the new buttons.
Lastly, the shirt received a gold safety pin and a plague doctor button for being such a brave little shirt during its makeover. Now it's done, and what a glow-up it was!

Linoprinting!
Sat down today to play a little with my new lino and relief printing ink :D Did a tiny test carving into a bit of the lino I ordered. There are some differences in texture when cutting vs eraser rubber, so my test is a bit messy, but looking forward to playing with it more in future.
Then rolled out a little of the water based ink and made some printed using thr new tiny carving and my previous large Vash carving.
Full credit of course to @shelternmberone for their fantastic Vash artwork I've been practicing with <3

Phase 1 is complete. Next, I print a ton of Saltys and hide them around campus. There's gotta be at least one sick freak around here who knows @saltydkdan
I've been binging their videos like crazy. Life has been a mess, but the old friendlockes and general streams keep me going. Had to make a stamp of my favorite white boy*

A project for college - A set of stamps in six different compositions, and a set of 16 to trade with classmates. I really enjoy the process of cutting out stamps to use for printing, and it's really nice to see the results when it's done!

I'm honestly not very satisfied with how this piece turned out.
I think this subject would need a different technique, such as etching...
I studied etching during art school, I'm sure it's the perfect technique but now I don't have a press to print copper plates.
Maybe if I could do some flea markets or sell my prints somehow I could afford one.
Honestly it would also benefit the quality of my current prints.
