Printmaking: Dia de los Muertos Bookmark

1 bookmark for each of 3 partners (3 in total) Since its so easy to make an extra print once you've got everything inked up I've made this for three partners.

This should be printed on a sturdy material suitable for a bookmark. I'm not going to require a particular size but in general a minimum of 1.5 inches by 5 inches is a common size. It should be a functional bookmark whatever size you pick. You may add a ribbon or tassel if you like but it's not required.

If you are using waterbased ink, please make sure to seal it so that the ink doesn't rub off onto the book. This is best accomplished with a spray varnish. As a brush on type will smear your print (unless you have some trick you want to share!) Likewise, please make sure your prints aren't tacky as this could ruin the book.

Relief, Intaglio, Sceenprinting/Gocco, Pochoir, Monotype/Monoprint, Lithography: Artist's (sender's) choice of method for this project, all creations must be handmade/designed.

Theme: Dia de Los Muertos or Day of the Dead

Rating of 4.9+, no unexplained 3s or 1s Providing links to your work is encouraged! I will be checking profiles before the swap begins.

Sorry, no rubber stamps, prefab stamps or stencils please! All blocks, stamps, images, or plates must be handcarved/etched/serigraphed & designed by each participating artist.

Obviously you need to print in at least one color. If you'd like you can print multiple colors, or add in some color by hand. Another fun way to add color is by printing on marbled paper.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
