I added a 3rd colour & finished my very small edition of hand-printed aluminum foil lithographic prints of a wolpertinger, a composite creature from German folklore. A mythical deer-hare hybrid, something like a jackalope, often described as a fanged hare with antlers, bird parts (like wings or feet or even beaks) & other small mammal parts like those from a fox, pine marten or, as in this case, a squirrel body. 🧵

@minouette ooh have you written about your litho process somewhere?

@chrisamaphone I’m brand new to this process but I took a workshop with Valerie Syposz and she shares quite a bit on her Instagram (@valeriesyposz).

Broadly it’s:
-draw on aluminum foil with media with grease (grease pencil, permanent market, oil pastel…)
-etch it with cola
-wet it
-roll on ink and print

@minouette that’s so cool - i really like the results and the process sounds fun. will check out Syposz’s instagram account. thanks!
