My comment was a question asking how the prints (shown in the photo from her site) were done. Continue reading for her how-to. I think this would make a great make and take or ART Attack project!
She replied:
"I'm not sure if the high school Art teachers ordered Styrofoam or exactly where they got it. I remember doing the project when I was in 5th grade- my teacher got some styrofoam trays (the kind used for meat) from the grocery store. We drew designs into them with pencil. The pencil makes enough of an impression that the line will show when it's printed. They told the students to just make designs with lines and shapes since they had very limited time and those were the more successful prints. Of course, it could be done with any sort of image as long as the artist keeps in mind that it will print in reverse. After the design was done, they just inked the plate using a brayer and made three prints so they could pick the best one."
