Making a Batch of Violin-Style Labels

Printmaking the next year’s instrument labels for my upcoming lyres, epinettes, moraharpa, english style violin and Stick Dulcimers. These ones are narrow violin style and larger ones with more information.

I am using Rubine Red Cranfield washable oil based relief ink, Fine Japanese wash printmaking papers, with a few larger labels in Nepalese Lokta paper. 

For full video see my channel

The strong and thin Japanese washi paper allows the use of a spoon as a  barren to make the prints
