My matchbox art featuring “Children’s Games by Pieter Bruegel the Elder".

#MiniatureMonday #MatchboxArt #MastoArt #collage

Two matchboxes, each holding a detail from “Children’s Games.” One contains three children making toys, with a cut-out hand attached and a blue pinwheel figurine placed inside. The other shows a child resting his hands on his knees; behind him are two windows, and an image of a hand is placed above him.

@elaterite @mlanger Thanks for sharing! Who knew such a simple structure could have so much science behind it.

@tamami Another "good guy" with a gun ugh....

@elaterite Thank you!

@treleanor Thank you so much! It was quite the undertaking

@ambivalena Thank you so much!

This was the most time consuming & in depth book repair I've done. I disassembled the book, steamed pages, repaired pages with tengucho paper, re-bound the book, & made a new casing. It was my first time doing a rounded spine, so that was a bit scary! There was quite a bit of spine swell due to old adhesive that I wasn't able to completely remove + my own oversight of thread thickness.

Day 21 of #SciArtSeptember prompt is reef.

This is a handprinted linocut of two ocean creatures with a mutualistic symbiotic relationship: anemone and anemonefish. Specifically it's a rose bubble-tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor) and a clownfish (in the genus Amphiprion), also known as an anemonefish. Sea anemones protect anemonefish from predators, and serve as a safe nest. 🧵

Rabbits on the moon - two layers linocut printed on Hosho paper

#linocut #linoprint #printmaking #linocutprint #linogravure

First post to Mastodon. Thought I'd share a book I've been commission to repair.

This is an old Bible passed down through the family and it has definitely seen better days. I'm using 3.5 gsm Haini paper to strengthen any parts of the pages that need it.

Don't be jarred by the scissors! They're for cutting my Haini paper ✂️
