    What a great lens. I love the photos and seeing the different things you did. I have dabbled in many art forms but never tried monoprinting. I've added it to my list thanks to your lens. Bear hugs, Frankster

    Captivating! Now I'll definitely have to try this, though I'd be fooling myself to think my results will be as gorgeous as yours!

    Very interesting and unique art form. I haven't seen this exact one before...but I can think of some ways to use it.

    I see I was here in 2010 and not an angel then...returning to sprinkle angel dust on this beauty.

    Hi Thanks for your visit. I have just spent 8 weeks building a transcription of a Morandi picture which included a great printing section - really enjoyed it. This lens is beautiful

    Monoprints can be pretty cool. An artist friend taught me a technique using foam meat packages, incising a design with a pen or similar, applying pastels, then ink... it created a lovely, loose, misty look.

    I am surely going to try your suggestion next time I attend Kathy's studio for monoprinting.

    Wonderful art form. The prints appear abstract and metaphorical at the same time.

    I don't quite understand but this looks like an intriguing art media. I would like to look into it more when I have a little time. Your examples are beautiful.

    Really gorgeous, I really am not very crafty and so I find this fascinating. Great work, as always.

    This makes beautiful prints! I'd never heard of this technique--but it looks pretty daunting to this person of no artistic talent! Very interesting lens though!

    I took a week long monoprinting workshop at the Grand Marais Artist Colony in Minnesota one year. It was interesting but I never quite got into it. This is a good reminder of what I learned, though. I keep thinking I'm going to try it again.

    What? this is very intriguing keep giving us ideas!! I cannot be distracted, I cannot be distracted, I'm weaving and knitting and water-coloring, and ....

    Great lens. I make monoprints. Really they start as lino prints, but as I use monoprint techniques alongside the lino, each one comes out slightly different. I liked the look of the stencils, must try more of this. I love using dried leaves and flowers, but they mess up the block and the roller big time. Thanks for writing this interesting lens!

    learned about a new art form. thanks

    This is really interesting. I enjoy experimenting with all types of media. Thanks for the introduction to a new art form.

    I am delighted to put my first blessing ever on this lens! I like the way how you expand your tea bag folding with monoprint technique!

    This is all new to me. I sounds complicated. But you have produced some attractive prints. I admire people with the patience that it takes to do such artistic things.

    I took my mentee Jeimy to see a printmaking workshop in Raleigh. she made a monoprint and also the kind where you stick stuff onto a page and run it through the press. i love those presses! Thanks for the memories!
