    I saw an amazing piece of work by a print artist recently. the subjects (piece of lace) surface was raised on the paper and the negative space or ground was sunk in some way does anyone know how to achieve this light relief on paper? I have done relief casting with plaster before but this is totally brilliant..
    thanks in advance

    Maybe soak the paper (softens it), dry it off a bit, put the lace (for example) underneath it & run it all through a print press..?

    Edit sorry I didn't quite read the original post right and just described embossment. i'm not sure its as simple as what I've described but anyway:

    If you use fabriano rosapina paper which you soak and then you run it through a press with whatever is used to make the embossment - this might be a real object, or and image etched into steel or cut out of cardboard.
