"Project: Invitation Cards"
here I am showing you a process of one of my recent projects.
The Challange was, to create a beautiful "Jugendweihe" Invitation Card.
To explain "Jugendweihe" Wikipedia says:"Jugendweihe (Youth consecration) or Jugendfeier (Youth ceremony) is a secular coming of age ceremony practiced by German 14-year-olds. It originated among the secular societies in the 19th century as an alternative to Confirmation by the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches. It was especially widespread in East Germany, where state atheism was encouraged under the GDR."
In this case, we have here an 14 year old Football enthusiast, which will be having this celebration soon and he needs to invite his guest and for this reason I had to design a card. I took the Idea of Football and created a design for a Linoleum cut. I brought the drawing on the Lino and segmented it.
In a near by Open Print Studio (Werk2 in Connewitz in Leipzig/Germany), I did a few test prints.
of course, it still needed some cutting......
here you can see some of the tools I used, the paint, roller and press...
I did a few more test print until I came to a good result and printed it on quality 150 gm² Aquarell Paper, so I can do some finishing touches with some Watercolor paint...
Here you only can see the "green" prints i did. I went later again and did some ocker prints with the same plate and a beautiful wallpaper print as a background
In my studio, I did the Watercolor painting around the edges. I actually used Watercolor Pencils and Pentil Water Brush for the Highlighs. I mixed up some different Watercolor paints and thin them down with water and used a nip to write the letters in different colors on white paper. Than I composed everything together with double sided tape on a green paper card.
The inside has a white ribbed inlet paper for writing...
here the result:
