I got a note from Kit Eastman the other day. She wanted to show me her 2011 lunar calendar (to the left), a gelatin plate print made with katazome (japanese stenciling). She wrote her “use of Tyvek as a stencil material for the numbers and letters on my piece started with a post you made several years ago on tyvek as stencil.” On her blog, she’s got a post showing the stencil and printing it (there are 2 other posts on the process of making the print here and here.)
Kit’s blog is full of great pictures and descriptions of making her work. To find out the basics of katazome, she suggests looking at the how to page on John Marshall’s website.
Kit is giving away one of her lunar prints, the deadline to enter is noon on Valentine’s day, Monday 2/14. Look here for the details.
thank you for sharing this w/your readers!
