I’ve been dying to try this process since Lego Dots came out! The reason why the ink isn’t fully sticking to the paper is because you’re not supposed to use a brayer to create the print. A baren or the back of a wooden spoon would transfer the ink better onto the paper since you can apply more pressure using those tools. A brayer is somewhat soft so not good for applying pressure but perfect for applying ink!

I follow someone on Instagram who does lego prints, I always wondered why they use a wooden spoon! This makes so much sense 😅

what's the @? I'm curious how it looks ​@@zp5016

"Get Worms" seems like such a rare insult. I love it.

The little bugs are so cool, they almost look like an alien language in a sci-fi movie or something

As someone who loves both Lego and Lino printing, I HAVE to try this! It’s such a fun way of having super clean lines and distinct shapes, also for me personally, I always love the imperfections of the ink in printing, it makes each one unique

Those bugs seem highly marketable in a continuous pattern for RedBubble products, or as stickers and pins. A combination bug and worm pattern sounds so cute.

My nephew (9) has recently decided to make his own card game (something along the lines of top trumps/pokemon cards) about slimes. Each slime has the same basic shape (a slightly elongated semi circle/half oval) and then each has its own little additions to show what kind of slime it is. After seeing this video I may have to grab him a set or two of these because that would be so fun!

Thinner paper works better for Linoprinting or Legoprinting 😆 instead of using the roller to press the paper, a wooden spoon works well as a brayer. Also you could try a spritz of water on the paper before applying it to the legos to help pick up the ink. Quite clever! And cute! And using larger legos as a registration system, perfect! That was fun to watch.

I absolutely loved the starry night sky print So beautiful. The Lego outline added so much character 💗

Would gelli plates help? I think the main issue is that you're trying to print with solid material (lego) on solid material (paper). Stamping on the gelli plate first and then transferring on paper might work better. Also, I love this idea! The bugs are my favourites. Will try those with our modern art set for sure.

You have to push down really hard on the paper and make sure it’s totally evenly covered with ink

Legos ARE an art material/supply and a form of art. People can make some crazy things with Legos.

I love the little bug prints! They would make such a cute little sticker pack!💕🪲

I inherited some print making supplies but never, ever used them mainly cus I didn't want to deal with carving. So I got rid of them and like a day later saw someone doing this on IG and was like. "Oh my god, duh."

Love the tiled lettering so much! And since it's done on a grid the worms and letters lined up perfectly

OMG! I've done this with the kiddos and it's so much fun. Never thought to layer the prints or put the print plate on a bigger plate and use other Leogs for registration marks. BRILLIANT!

I love how many different crafty things you do in your videos, showing that art isnt just illustrations. it really reminds me of the fun and creative process! I so want to do this lego printing I've seen a lot of it and its soooo cool - I super love your bugs theyre so cute aaaaaa :3

The starry worm is so beautiful

I absolutely LOVE the little bug prints, they look great!

Oh my gosh! The timing on this video! I’m in a college printmaking course right now, and I just sent this video to my professor. Seeing you make a jig with the Lego pieces was so cool!! And these pieces are so fun!!

The bugs turned out so cute!!

Thinner paper is recomended for lino, which she is basically doing and more rubbing, but not with the roller for better results

I make Lego prints like these and I agree! There are not enough rounded ends!

That was so cool! Love the texture!

Lego is the gift that keeps on giving, just as generous as Kasey ☺☺☺

i love seeing people start learning printmaking even in unconventional ways! printmaking is so fun and rewarding because you literally see the process and can reproduce the same image! now i gotta get some lego stuff because carving clean letters with zero noise is so time consuming

If you’re bothered and you want a better print you could always lightly sand the pieces so they hold ink a lot better!

Lego gonna see this and release it as a set for 99.99.

It’s 1:20 AM and we have to prep for a trip at 3 AM but I wanna watch this instead of sleeping rn.

This past semester in one of my English classes (I’m an English Ed major) we learned about print making and printing presses! Since William Blake and his wife would make art for his poems, and how it worked and the labor put into it so it’s so cool to see you do this with legos!!!

Kasey! I'd love to see your little bugs on one piece of paper! They'd make such a cute little grid :-)

Oooh, I may have to try this as my next printmaking project! I LOVE the texture you got in yours and I love your small prints.

Pretty sure they discontinued the DOTS line at the end of 23, which is a shame because this line is so lovely for detail work in Lego and I think would also make great textural and interactive art and braille that would hold up decently well to having hands constantly touch the art pieces all day

Love the prints…especially the bugs! So cute!!! ❤❤❤

These turned out great and the tiny bugs are adorable

my guess is that being glossy plastic pieces, that keeps them from maybe picking the ink correctly? i would try to sand them a little... and for sure use a wooden spoon to apply pressure with the paper instead, it works usually works better

Sometimes when printing with legos you gotta scuff up their surface with a superfine sandpaper to give the ink a place to hold to.

Hullo Kasey, I wanted to get some LEGO's and I looked around and found the best options was on e-Bay! If you go to a big city where they have a LEGO store that sells individual pieces you can buy any shape you need. I know there are online places as well, but they were out of my price range! I saw several comments that mention spoons for rubbing the ink onto your paper. You can also try a softer paper that will grab the ink or paint better. Just gotta do more testing!!

How cool!! What a great idea! 😍👍

It looks suprisly good :)

cool idea

i forgot dots comes with a really hard to use brick separator

Brooo u r awsomazintastic

this was so great omg

You can make small sticker sets out of this cute bugs? And washy tapes too!

After 2 hear I revisiting this channel again. I don't know what going on with this fews hear in my life, it not make sense 😅. Yaa... Love ❤the change in this channel.

This is awesome 😍

So I can’t find prixels, so this looks interesting me!!

as a lego fan putting ink on legos seems cursed, but it does look pretty cool

The bug prints look like a legit set of game cards 🤔

I, personally, love the worms!!!

I really want to use this technique to print some designs in tote bags!!!!!

The bug prints are so cute!!! (^-^)

I love your videos iam your biggest fan i love your videos i watch you ever day

You could use the prints to create borders around your art? Or patterns to fill up areas?

Personally, I consider lego a type of art supply! I think about it like how I use clay for figure making! It's all about creating something new and the limitations are barely existent!! :]!!!

Pawsome raw uwu XD

The Kasey merchandise empire grows. It's going to rival Moriah Elizabeth's critical amount of OCs that she made merchandise out of.

Perhaps ink and thinner paper would help?

What kind of ink do you use? And the paper?

Would it work to do this on shirts do you think?

5:35 those are definitely not good layouts for mini motorways. Maybe if you add a roundabout?
