Experimenting Without Digital Part 1


This was making just judging a craft knife to create a stencil. The point of this was to see what is was like to step away from digital and try and make something comepletly by hand. Usually when working with printed crafts like screen printing, the designs would usually be digital based. So this was something new for me, I found it takes a lot more planning and time (this was my 4th attemp...) and how i take the undo button on photoshop for granted.
It may has failed as a stencil, as the card was too thin. But over all I am pleased with how it turned out. With digital I can be a bit of a perfectionist and wouldn't accept any errors. However with this I understand the aura of the handcrafted, the flaws don't seem to bother me and just add to the charm of crafted objects.
