Printing Project

The Process 

     At the start of this process, I printed two of my designs out on white printer paper, and they were the size 6 by 4. I also made sure to reflect them so they wouldn't turn out backwards on my final print. I then cut the out designs. The next thing I did was watercolor two different pieces of  watercolor paper with the color schemes that were on the designs. After that, I painted the designs front with Mod Podge. I painted enough so that you couldn't really tell what the design wad through the Mod Podge layer. When doing this, you have to work fast so that the Mod Podge doesn't dry. After that, you place the picture face down in the middle of your watercolor. You than take a squeegee and smooth out the picture and press it down. Make sure to not get any Mod Podge on the top of the design because it will later impact your process. After it dries, get some water on your fingers, and rub the paper off of the design. Make sure you don't leave any paper fuzz on the design. Lastly, place a clear coat on top of the design.

My Experience

     During this process, I thought it went overall really well. My prints turned out good, and they had almost no paper fuzzies on it.  If I were to do this again, I would try to not rub off the watercolor. I would keep the same amount of Mod Podge on it, because my print transferred pretty well. I really enjoyed this project, and it was interesting to see how the printing process worked. Overall, this project was really fun to complete, and I thought that my print went well.
