screen printing project: artfest house 4e
ArtFest is just around the corner and another addition to the group prayer flags is here! I’ve chosen to do a screen print. Many of my friends and family have not seen this process, so I’ll try to break it down in photo form for all to understand. Here is the process I go throughContinue reading “screen printing project: artfest house 4e”
crabs descending print
Every year on Christmas Eve, our family gathers for a grand crab feed. Living in Oregon, Dungeness crab is not hard to find. Typically my father creates a fabulous card to invite extended family members to the event. Wine flows freely along with copious amounts of crab, wonderful green salad and bread from the MetropolContinue reading “crabs descending print”
stalled project
Something interesting has started growing on my pig gut. Another artist had asked if there were problems with things growing on or consuming the pig/hog intestine sculptures after drying. Organic materials… you never know! On initial thought, I replied “No”. However I should probably revise that answer. After four or five days of drying, myContinue reading “stalled project”
leaf collecting

Evelyn’s Tree Print: Finished?
Feeling about finished with Evelyn’s Tree. Tried to adjust one section that was having problems and wasn’t successful. Adding linoleum back into the block just isn’t possible. Next step will be to set up a silk screen to drop color over the image. It can also be just in black & white if people prefer.Continue reading “Evelyn’s Tree Print: Finished?”
More wire and gut
I’ve been playing around with more wire in hopes of finding something that feels right. This concept has been in the works for a couple of months and I was anticipating finishing it for the Howland Community open. But then life changed. Current status: in progress. Displayed on the table are the wire forms waitingContinue reading “More wire and gut”
