Hi FeverDreamer - me too! I would have had a party with all the cracker and cereal boxes my family plowed through every week! Thanks for your reply. Happy foraging in the recycling bin!
I knew it!! I was thinking just a few days ago if cardboard could be painted with something ink resistant--I was wondering if melted wax would work if brushed on, but this varnish would be SOO much easier! Bless you!
Wow!! Incredible work! I really enjoy when you post these short teaching videos . I had trued styrofoam meat package and craft foam. The foam worked well, but why buy when you have a recycling box filled with good things! The styrofoam meat package seemed to thick to get a decent fine line. Thank you for this.

Hi Kathryn! Did you find that the craft foam gave a finer line than the meat packaging foam? I’ve been meaning to try both, but haven’t yet. Thanks for the compliments!
Hahahah! In your thrall, eh? Wow, thanks for the super nice accolades! Here’s a 🍪 cookie. And welcome to this channel. C’mon in and make yourself cozy.
@@bdelpesco I will at some point, for sure. I love exploring new techniques. At the moment, I’m on deadline for a custom bookbinding project. Thanks for the nice note, Belinda :)
Hi Carol, If you like working small, you might take a look at the Craft Press Printmakers group on Facebook. They use small, table top stencil and die cutters (like this: amzn.to/3bMyTDK) to make gorgeous prints: facebook.com/groups/1544918272204523
It’s worth a try… make your first print small, and relatively simple, and be sure to keep the paper totally still on the plate to avoid a staggered print. 👍🏽
Hello, Alice - a press makes the job faster, and more thorough, but you can still get a good print with a spoon, especially if you keep your lifework relatively simple. Watch this demo: ruclips.net/video/86nRWW4PV9M/видео.htmlsi=o0TLFQ91JyZxqmhF

I’m glad we had matching strategies! Onward to recycled printmaking plates from sweets in the freezer!
Absolutely wonderful Belinda. Very creative with something from nothing. I love it

Would a rolling pin work if you don’t have a print press?

@@bdelpesco ow very helpful, thank you!
do u still need a printing press to print this from a cardboard?
