I wanted to make some Gyotaku fish print, which is a traditional Japanese style of printmaking. My BF caught me some fish to do this project. I had four trout to try it out on. I definitely got better as I went along, so I’m happy I went from smallest to largest fish.

The tricks I learned were to use way less ink than I thought I needed. Blotting with paper towels really helped, too.

I made a BMO card with one of my favorite quotes from them.

I felt like making my own deck of cards. I carved out the number and symbol stamps, as well as a Three Hares design for the back. I cut out all of the cards from card stock, rounding out the corners, and stamped each card.

Definitely not regulation.
