Ok. Another try at a portrait monoprint. This time I stippled with a small stomp. I sanded one flatter and wider to do the snakes. Interesting technique. Mindlessly dotty, so to speak. I'm sure I can get it lighter next time. This was fun.

That LOOKS like it was fun! Fantastic self-portrait.
VERY NICE !
Like real Medusa :-)
HOW FUN!!!!!! Great job, Ellen!
I love this!!! How in the world did you do it? It looks like a resist of some sort?
Thanx all,
Not a resist. I inked up a zinc plate then drew (traced) thru a piece of paper on top. Where ever the pencil touches down, ink is pulled up (sticks to the back of the paper). I then un-stippled the face with an art stomp to remove ink where ever it touched down. Tedious but effective. 8-]
Next time I'll keep at it longer.
This is the best! Very nice look to it! Do more, do more!
Excellent! You did one! And it came out GREAT! Very nice, indeed. Keep making them... you're onto something! See you Friday!
