Sculpture. Tutes. Inspiration. Culture - A hypnotic video of a rare art form. Sliding, etching, scraping and sanding: the muffled sound of a roller on paint; the drip of acid on limestone; the clunk as the stone is pushed into place.
Hypnotic in its measured pace and minimal soundtrack, a new video reveals a technique that goes back more than two centuries. Sarah Dudley and Ulli Kühle are lithographers, drawing on stone in layers of colour, etching with nitric acid, rolling on ink and printing onto acid-free cotton rag paper. They are practitioners of a niche art form. But according to Dudley, it’s not dying out.
“There was a point in the 1960s when the only printers were the few in France and Germany,” she tells BBC Culture. Dudley was drawn to lithography even before she’d etched a plate. One artist we know drew a lithograph using butter. The main material is the stone (lithos in Ancient Greek). It sounds complicated, but relies on a simple technique.

CAIS Image Library is an ongoing project of collecting digital images and multimedia files representing art from the ancient Iranian World (pre-history untill the fall of the Sasanian dynasty in 651 CE). This in turn will highlight and place emphasis upon rich Iranian culture. These images will be used for non-commercial purposes only (no fee is charged to viewers). CAIS Image Library was set up with the aim of generating images that would equip students and scholars alike of the vast art collections that exists today.

By Renee Long and Tiffany Stout As a wellness warrior, you’re probably making an effort to incorporate natural products into all areas of your daily life—including fun holiday traditions like dying Easter eggs for decoration or your family’s big Sunday Easter egg hunt.
We were really psyched when we read this article from the BigSisLilSis blog on using natural coloring, flowers, and leaves to create beautiful designs on Easter eggs. We decided to spend a Saturday turning Renee’s kitchen into an all natural DIY dye factory to make gorgeous naturally dyed Easter eggs. If you’re looking for an alternative to the synthetic food dyes often used to color eggs, give these natural dyes a try. It requires a bit of effort and time (the eggs need to sit in the dye overnight), but the beautiful result is totally worth it!
Some odds and ends you’ll want on hand… Gesso Stenciling: 2 Ways To Create Texture. Most of you are probably familiar with Gesso.
For those who are not, it is a primer for paper and canvas. It provides stiffness and “tooth,” so paints adhere better. In some instances Gesso also provides a barrier for the paint or ink and stops it from being “sucked” right up by the paper or canvas. Gesso is most commonly white, even though it is also available in transparent, black and a whole array of colors now. Build Your Own Easel! Speeddrawing Jacque Fresco - 60 hours in 3 minutes. Origami Birds Instructions. Print on Fabric with an Inkjet Printer. By Andrew Lewis Sometimes I have a great idea for a textile project, but I get put off by the thought of trawling through the seemingly endless bolts of fabric at the store.
Then I think about the hassle of haggling over the price and ending up with three times as much fabric as I actually needed. I decided to try printing my own fabric on an inkjet printer, and the results really exceeded my expectations. The advantages to this technique are tremendous, and I don’t have to haggle over prices any more. I get my own designs, in the quantity I need, at a fraction of the price I would normally pay. 02: Origami Stern.
