Towards the end of July and at the beginning of August was extremely busy for me. I moved and finally had the day at the Detroit Urban Crafts Fair. It was a great success, my friend Faun and I both made more $$$ than we expected. So, since I've sold out all my oink prints. Now I have to print a new edition. I thought I should share my process once again. Its so messy, but I love it.
This is the 2nd edition of oink
1. After I carved out the linoleum plate with the linoleum cutters.
2. I scooped out the ink red and white to make pink with my palette knife.
3. I rolled the ink on to the brayer and transfered the ink onto the linoleum plate.
4. Placed the linoleum plate on to the paper. Tried to center as much as I can.
5. Then flip the whole thing over so the paper is on top. I placed a paper towel on top so the brayer won't hurt the paper. I used the brayer to apply even pressure so the ink can transfer to the paper evenly.
6. Tada! Here's the first layer of pink. They all rest on the drying rack for about 3 days to be dry enough to add the 2nd color.
7. Before and after the 2nd layer is applied.

I love to sleep and I find it hard to do so nowadays with backaches and noisy neighbors. I wake up cranky when I don't have enough sleep. My husband laughs at me about it because he's a morning person. This print is a new edition to the monster collection. Doesn't everyone love a good night sleep? You can get the print here.
Yehey! Its finally coming! I'll be there this weekend. Don't forget to stop and buy~!
Finally its here! I will be going to the Renegade Craft Fair Holiday Sale in Chicago! I am pretty nervous and excited. I've never gone this far to attend a craft fair. Hopefully everything will go smoothly.
Its hard to see the dots but they are there. Here's a picture with the ruler and the dots lined up.
After lining up the dots I lined up the plate with the ruler and the top left corner dot, and print.
This print is still in progress because it takes soo long to dry. I will put the entire process with more pictures later. I hope this help you guys out there that are poor and trying to find a cheap way to get things lined up :) ~~~Have fun~~~!!!!

Here's one of my watercolor painting. Playing with blue and purple and it was lots of fun. The story for her is that she has turned to stone after she had her heart broken. Her heart and soul has left her body and became a blue fruit.
The piggy "Oink" is a 2 plates print. I lay on the pink first with plate 1 then the brown after with plate 2. An edition of 6
