We made two big mistakes. These prints are probably best made on a piece of glass or plexiglass. We used a piece of plastic from an old frame I broke. I also didn't have a roller for paint so we used inked sponge rollers. The ink beaded up and made the prints blurry. Next time we will get better tools. First Red Fish put the ink on the plastic.
Then she made some lines through the ink with some q-tips. She could have used a clean brush too but she might have whiped all of the ink off if she used too big a brush. After the plastic was pretty covered, we put a piece of paper over it to make a print.
The final results are pretty splotchy. Next time maybe I will buy a cheap frame from a thrift store or something so we have a good piece of glass to work on. Red Fish really enjoyed this project.

You are going to make her into a pretty young artist. I love your projects!
Thats pretty cool! I like how they turned out. Josh has such a small attention span, Im always amazed at how focused your daughter is with her artwork!
So, today, is she gonna make you a pretty painting of some sort for your B-day? But you should have dad clean up the mess this time. ;)
I love your art projects-such great ideas! We copied the shaving cream one the other day!
