The Bristol paper was soaked in water with the excess blotted off. Water-based ink was rolled onto the print plate, the blotted Bristol was placed on the inked plate, and rubbed with a baren and a roller. Each pulled print had unique imperfections that add to the overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Why | \u003c\/b\u003eI wanted to be a ballerina when I was a child but never pursued it. I admired their strength, beauty, and grace as they passionately danced. To perform a dance en pointe is a French dance term that describes the steps of ballet that involve dancing on the toes and takes a great deal of practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eIgbo \u003c\/em\u003epeople of Eastern Nigeria create \u003cem\u003eUli\u003c\/em\u003e body and wall painting designs. I love the graphic, expressive yet detailed look of these designs. There are similarities in their use of simple lines and shapes but each Uli design is unique individually. I need to do more research to find the meaning of them but this is not stopping me from incorporating them into my artwork. They just look so cool!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo mat \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo frame\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"createdbybarbara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48296900591774,"sku":"juc1789781956676","price":67.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/0130\/8830\/files\/en-pointe-series-red_1.jpg?v=1789781984","url":"https:\/\/gleamcutwear.shop\/products\/en-pointe-series-red","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
