OMAE: DIY Printmaking PC

Create a postcard using ONLY "do it yourself" printmaking techniques. This means no store-bought rubber stamps, Gelli plates or other pre-made printing tools.

What can you use?

• hand carved "rubber of some sort" stamps
• styrofoam printing plates
• hand cut stencils
• household objects: silicon pot holders, bottle caps, bubble wrap, shoe soles, corks
• collagraphs
• inkblot techniques
• hand cut craft foam shapes
• Dendritic Monoprinting
• potato stamps, celery cross-sections, leaves and other natural elements...

There are lots more options, get resourceful & play around. Use a single technique or multiple to create a cool handmade postcard. You can print using ink or paint (or both). Minimum size is 4" x 6". Send your diy print postcard naked.
