Thanks, glad it helped!

Freut mich zu hören! Und danke für das Feedback! ✌️

tjoa, wer nich, oder!? ✌️🙂

✌️

you can see the cutting process in this video: ‚Vide Diem‘ Linocut Print: How to carve super detailed Artwork ( ua-cam.com/video/GQY8l0xjIX4/v-deo.html ). I did not notice any difference in the feel of the cut. Maybe there was still some paper left? or the Glue layer was thick? 🤷‍♂️

@@eastofawesome thank you for answering, really appreciate you!! Yeah, I believe that was the cause, the glue layer being too thick. Great videos btw, very inspiring and helpful! Much appreciated

Thanks Scott, never heard of that one. Do you think it might be an upgrade to the modpotch process I showed here and I should give it a try?

😼✌️

hehe, thank you. Did you already finish your palette? Would love to see a picture of the final result!

@@eastofawesome I don’t know how to add a picture to this reply… otherwise I would like to show you how it turned out.

@wademfp61 not possible on youtube sadly but you can send it on instagram ( @eastofawesome ) or via email ( mail(at)eastofawesome.com )

Thank you Jeffrey! ✌️

Thank you again! I knew that many Americans are supposed to read it in school. It somehow makes you feel kinda dumb if you are having difficulties reading something that is required reading in school for the native speakers … but hey 😅

Das sind chinesische Tusche Blöcke die mit Wasser auf einem Naturstein gerieben werden. Links zu sowas hab ich in die Beschreibung gepackt. Alternativ hab ich aber auch schon mit einfacher verdünnter Acrylfarbe gute Erfahrungen gemacht. ✌️

@@eastofawesome perfekt danke für deine Hilfe :)

Thank you Jessica. That is definitely a video that I already did want to make for a long time. 😅 So I mostly use a 3mm wide U- and a 3mm wide V-gauge and then for very fine details I have a 1/2 mm U that I love (but you can also make these fine cuts with the 3mm V. for clearing larger areas i use a 6mm U with a more „flat“ shape and for convenience the even bigger 10mm „flat-U“. In your case I would probably go for a 3mm V gauge and something around the 6mm flat U next. Hope it still helps. ✌️

Thank you Jeffrey! Your uncle seems like a wise man to me! Etwas spät, aber trotzdem: Auch ein frohes neues Jahr! ✌️

Aww, your comments are always so super nice and encouraging … thank you very much!

thank you very much! looking forward to hearing what you thought about part 2, I think I made some decent upgrades there! ✌️

@@eastofawesome Thanks, I’ll check it out today!!🌟

Thank you. Seems to depend very much on the country how easy those things are to find …

thank you! ✌️

What a nice and encouraging comment. Thank you very much!

My Journals (as well as my digital notes) are usually a wild mix of English and German entries. Sometimes I even switch within a single entry back and forth. Most of the content I read or watch is english so often the brain defaults to english even if I dont speak it regularly. And if I know from the start, that I might want to make a video and record the process, then I think it also makes more sense to use English (even it might not be perfect English all the time … :) )

Hehe, thank you! It was for a good cause ✌️

Thank you very much! ✌️

Oh those things look like a very interesting option too! how does it feel working with those things?

I really like then, though they aren't very stylish, because I can flip them up out of the way when I don't need them, then back down again. They fit over regular glasses. They come in different strengths.@@eastofawesome

I second optivisors. Very lightweight and easy to wear for long periods of time. They are a game changer.

Just recently found a super big looking glas super cheap at the flea market that I am currently testing but I‘ll definitely try out these optivisors also.

Nice, I would love to see the result! Cheaper chisels and tools often don‘t come properly sharpened, so this might be something you may want to look into. I still haven‘t gotten around to making a dedicated sharpening video but there are a lot already out here and sharp tools are generally safer and - most notably - more fun to use! Good luck with the project!

Thank you so much for the info.@@eastofawesome

Thank you! Yes, it is made of cast iron. A fact that was very noticeable on every step up to the 3rd floor where I live ! ✌️

Yes, I should make a follow up video sometime. I have noticed the same thing so what I did was give it a light sanding with a fine sandpaper. Then you need to make sure you get all the dust out of the fine lines of your carving. That worked and I was able to print nicely with the block. But then after printing I went to clean the lino block - what I usually just do with warm/hot water in the sink. After some light rubbing with my hands I noticed the Modpodge/Ink layer starting to peel of. So now this is what I always do before printing: Just using warm water (I let it pour directly on the linoleum) soak in a bit and then quite easily rub of the whole transfer layer. Only downside to this is that you need to wait and properly dry the block before you can start printing. (I use paper towels around the lino and a few big books so it dries staight) You could also use Acetone as I already used that directly on the lino for another transfer method (You see it in I think the „memento mori“ print video). But its a harsch chemical substance so I would suggest to the simple warm water method first. If you posta picture of your final print somewhere then make sure to send a link! ✌️

@@eastofawesome May I add; don't use acetone in the sink of bath! There's a strong posibility it will destroy the enamel, stone, porcelain etc.

good point!

Thanks Donna, glad you liked it! Hope the notebook video won‘t take too long! ✌️

Thanks for the nice words! The cat you see there is our little tomcat Titus. Then there are also the the two older pirate cat sisters Yuki and Cleo. All three of them are Ragdoll Cats. You can see a little bit more of them in this printing video at about 02:10 where I also talk a little bit about Cleo being super grumpy about Titus existing in general (there he is probably about half a year older than in this video here): m.ua-cam.com/video/cDFXfYnmpm0/v-deo.html Guess you are a cat owner (/servant) yourself?

@@eastofawesome ohhhhh yes, I am a cat mom/servant, lol! Your cats remind me of out late Ragamuffin, Jess. Cat's are amazing and settle down easily into the "I am your master and ruler of the world" role, lol! We have cats, chickens, dogs and horses.

Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. Uncle Tom's cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Not sure if they're suited for such a wonderful page like the one of Moby Dick.

@craftylady7240 Great suggestions, thank you! Both surely would offer many opportunities for visualizing the hoístorical context I think …

Hm, not totally sure what you mean … 🤔 But thanks for the comment either way! ✌️

​@eastofawesome he's referring to how you have so many, it seems like an obsession, it's tongue in cheek 😅 sehr witzige

Ah thank you. Did not know this phrase. Hm, I don‘t think I have even used all of my fountain pens here :)

Thank you! ✌️

Vielen Dank! ✌️

Aww, thank you so much! Very encouraging! ✌️

Awesome! Do you think I captured some of the vibes?

Thank you! (Awesome avatar picture btw XD)

Just spent the first weeks with the next evolution of my diy journal evolution. Looking forward to hearing what you think of this one. Just have to get to cutting the video ….

@@eastofawesome wow can't wait! Awsome!

yeah, the leather-working tool box is full already XD
