VSW11 Printmaking: Materials and Methods What a rollercoaster! Equipped with a Study Guide that said there were some very good videos on YouTube, I found myself googling how to make a linocut and new things like monotype and collograph. This was definitely new territory. We had to choose a single theme and stick with it for twelve weeks. I decided to respond to the decay process of a mallard duck that had the misfortune to die in my garden. I printed the motifs I'd been working with onto strings of prayer flags and installed them in a star formation over the duck's resting place. Then I began documenting the decay of the flags, which echoed that of the duck as vegetation grew over them all. It was an unconventional introduction to printing perhaps, but it enthused me to the extent that I have replaced my original foot press with a real one.
