Over the weekend Fiona and I printed our No to war posters. A simple message really - war is just not acceptable in any form - the people who will truely suffer and be destroyed are ordinary people - ordinary people going about their daily lives - trying to live ordinary lives of love and joy.
I printed two versions of the poster - one simple and one that resulted from over printing three times with one ink up; and masking off the attribution between prints. Though the poster at the bottom of the image has a ghostly second print of the attribution - ink bleeding through the masking paper. The posters are 25cmX35cm.
I like the grain and historic colouring on the wood type I used.
Today I managed to complete a few metal hearts and stars - maybe be fitting given the no to war message. I made pendants from the star metal pieces that had a shadow of a star still on them after I sliced off the bits for earrings.
May we say No to war and yes to Imagine peace.
love how you & Fiona make so much peace and love for our beautiful broken world
ReplyDeleteI very much like the multiple strikes of attribution in the first image ... and how the wood type holds color, even after being cleaned off
