Into The Key Jar It Goes

At the Zine Fair last week a friend came to visit us and dropped off this beaut for my key collection! I haven't added to the collection in a while and this old store key is not only huge, but heavy as a horse! What a sweetheart! Thanks Jessica!

Collagraphing Keys

Printing Collagraphs from part of my collection of keys. Intaglio studio, OCAD

Prepping my work station.

Clean degreased keys, ready to ink.

Press set to pressure with proper foam, felts and template.

Relief ink with extender base, rolled out to appropriate consistency.

Proof run on newsprint to check the pressure of the press.

Perfect result. 

Ready to start the edition.

The finished print rolled through on Kozuke. 

Peeling back the blankets.

Gently peeling back the paper.

The exciting part!

The finished collagraph.

Ready to be folded and bound into a book for Thesis.

Time to clean!

Special thanks to Melissa Cormier for documenting the unveiling.
