This image is part of a project I am working on that has no deadline 🙂 I refere to it as “Then and Now”. The painted on doll figures were in another print way back in the early 90ˋs When I was a little girl I got a walking doll for Chirstmas. It was my last Christmas with my Dad. Me and the Doll actually did go for long walks together that summer. I was a very sad little girl that summer.
Shylight photopolymer is so fun to play with. But warning alert 🙂 It is expensive. I made this plate laminating the photopolymer film onto the Aluminium plate. Let dry for a few days and then exposed the film to a painting of the doll figures on plastic, then added stencils and fabric. * Below are the two plates used for the image. The Ploymer plate and a peice of fabric.
The polymer plate inked up and the print of the peice of fabric I printed for texture.
There will for now be 6 editioned “When I Was a Little Girl” . But when I sign the prints I will put out of 10. Just incase I want to make a few more. But right now I am ready to move on to something else.
