I created a series of quick sketches based on some of these diagrams, then rolled the back of the sketches with printers ink. I then laid the paper lightly on top of pattern paper and retraced the image.
This technique, somewhat similar to monotype printmaking, works without a printing press. In effect, I become the printing press as I trace the images, transferring the ink on the back of the image to the paper beneath.
What I love about this technique is that you can't control it. Where ever the papers meet, the ink will transfer, thus creating rather ethereal, one-of-a-kind images.
