Rubber Felt printing process

Place a plant fragment on a clean piece of paper, then press an inked pad onto the plant and paper. The plant fragment acting like a stencil, blocks the ink—producing a reverse silhouette.

First Impression

But, the plant fragment blocks some of the ink within the pad, and the pressure displaces the trapped ink—in measure to the thickness, surface variation, and texture of the fragment.

Setting the plant fragment and first impression aside, and pressing the same pad onto a clean piece of paper produces a second image resembling a microphotograph or rubbing taken from a low relief.
