WHAT IS RIVES BFK?



My box of Rives BFK came yesterday.

BFK is a very versatile printmaking & drawing paper.

It has a smooth surface with a slightly velvety feel.

It's 100% cotton rag, mould made & the color is highly fade-resistant.


I created collages on grey BFK a couple years ago & have been wanting to work with it again ever since.

It's impossible to find the grey locally, so I mail-ordered it from Utrecht. It came in 2 days. I was very impressed with the packaging.

I cut 6 -15 x15 pieces. Ready for next step tomorrow.
