Friday, I dropped off the book box to to Dick’s home. Two of the major participants for coordinating the memorial book for Marie were also in attendance: Cheryl Maze and Susan Liser. There was one change made in the box cover after taking the initial images. I added a place to insert narrow pictures orContinue reading “Book Box Extra”

Book Box Experiment
After an artist friend died in January, a group of her friends gathered to put together a special book for her family. I took on the job of creating a box to house the book. I’m not a box maker but have dabbled in putting together some pyramid box forms as gifts for family. SoContinue reading “Book Box Experiment”
Spring Windowsill
It has been a beautiful spring scene looking out the kitchen window. This image was taken a couple of days ago when it was sunny and more petals were on the plum tree. In the foreground is part of our glass collection with Jerri Bartholomew (birdhouse & fish), Sarah Morrissey( multi-colored abstract) & a DaveContinue reading “Spring Windowsill”
Bringing in the pro!
I passed along a few dollars to one of our local photographers, Harold Wood, for some stunning images. Harold’s work is tops! Now I have images of the two works for the Ag show plus a stunning pix of my leaf coat from 2009. Here are the results: Journal Entry: February 1, 2011, mixed mediaContinue reading “Bringing in the pro!”

Forest Project Almost Complete

So I did decide to add on six additional squares to “A Walk in the Woods: Discovery Loop Trail”. There was also another lamp in production but I’ve given up on completing it for now. There isContinue reading “Forest Project Almost Complete”
Another Forest Proof…
Pileated woodpecker proof is getting closer to completion thanks to a bit of work during the coast escape. More block printing material arrived from DS. Hurray! The momentum can continue!
Unexpected Recognition
Last night I attended the awards ceremony for the Howland Community Open at The Arts Center in Corvallis. The event draws one of the largest crowds, probably reaching the maximum capacity for the building. It’s a chance to recognize amazing artwork created throughout the community from all age brackets and abilities. This year there wereContinue reading “Unexpected Recognition”
Slug print
Week 2 print results: A block a day is not possible for me. C’est la vie! 2-3 are possible depending on subject matter. I’ve finally called it quits on the slug print. The image modifications have been going on for several days. Here is the printed image and a color test. Banana slugs are anContinue reading “Slug print”
Mollusk Monday
The forest art print project is still moving along.4″x4″ printed & water colored squares will eventually become attached to balsa wood frames. The carved images are quick and not perfect. It’s become more of a learning experience than anything, pushing my envelope in an area I don’t visit very often. Plus making me work inContinue reading “Mollusk Monday”
