I'm just now thinking about doing some printed cards for Christmas. We also love to make out own rubber stamps with the same material and it's tons of fun. I did a blog post about it on my homeschooling blog a while back. http://knitonequilttoo.typepad.com/live_love_laugh_learn/2007/03/stamp_carving_f.html Oh, I love printmaking!

I am an art teacher/illustrator in berkeley, ca, and I read your blog. I am in the middle of printmaking with my 6th graders right now. FYI, you can buy big sheets of the foam thru art supply catalogs ( Nasco, Dick Blick, Sax). I use that with younger kids, but with 6th grade and up we use Soft-Kut rubber -it's like a big flat magicrub eraser, you can get it in many sizes, and carve using linoleum tools. I have a stack of plexiglass sheets I got at Tap plastics to roll ink out on-enough for every kid to have one or 2, so they can try different colors. We experiment a lot with color, rolling ink right onto white or colored paper, then printing a different color on top, or painting right on the printing plate. My class is doing landscapes after japanese prints.Fun! Hi. I am an art teacher/illustrator in berkeley, ca, and I read your blog.

Sometimes those craft thoughts travel rather quickly across the Pacific... I'm contemplating doing something similar with fabric paint and cotton. Emphasis on the contemplating.

For the leaves, I usually put ink on a piece of glass, then the leaf, and then roll one brayer over it, transfer to paper, cover with another paper, then roll a clean brayer over that. Also, prints scan beautifully, so you can do that and then print them out on demand. Stationery perhaps? Those are gorgeous.
