April is looming! Especially since I have a 2 person show of dog prints and my print portfolio hasn’t increased much over the past year. You may think that’s months away, right? Well, I don’t work quickly on prints when my brain is taxed with other events. To help clear mental cobwebs, I spent aContinue reading “Discovering Lost Blocks”

Another print in progress
Here are the first two colors of a reduction screen print. I’m not going to say what the subject happens to be. You’ll just have to wait to find out. Hopefully it actually turns out ok… if not, you might not see the rest of it! 🙂 This is my newly acquired drying rack system.Continue reading “Another print in progress”
Card creation at the Merry Inksters
Over the past two weeks I’ve taken two workshops. The first (lichen dye for wool and silk) was very disappointing as far as results and just not in my main art field. (Note to self: I need to focus on workshops in my specific fields) This last weekend was fun and something I’ve been moreContinue reading “Card creation at the Merry Inksters”
Merry Inksters Holiday Open House!
Come join the fun with our printmaking group! I’m hoping to have a few images for sale… probably cards, if I can catch up with Julia to drop things off! Maybe a triangle book for sale…. we shall see!
Going to the Dogs
During the final week of September, local artists were able to submit a trio of works to be juried into the Corrine Woodman gallery for the 2013 season. I hmmed and hawed and finally submitted three dog print images. They were all works viewed by friends on Facebook , Etsy, or for those who happenedContinue reading “Going to the Dogs”
Upcoming art interests
Finally, a little art news! There are two upcoming shows, back to back that I’ll be participating in at the Arts Center in Corvallis. First up is for the month of September. The piece is still in the works but stands a pretty good chance of getting completed before the drop-off date next week. PhotosContinue reading “Upcoming art interests”
So close!
After a weekend of no water in the house and plumbing woes out of the way, the Moby print came back in focus. There will be one more color for the border, but for the most part things are looking pretty complete. Keeping the print paper properly lined up (registration) can often be a challenge.Continue reading “So close!”
2 colors down
Lack of useable colored etching ink has thrown some of my printmaking into a standstill. However, there is always screen printing! My inks for that style are also getting old but still useable. A couple of years ago I switched from Speedball to Versa and I’m not very happy. Maybe it’s the extender butContinue reading “2 colors down”
I Pug You!
Valentines day is approaching and I just ran a limited edition (15 prints) of “I Pug You!” to be posted on my Etsy site. Print measures 7″x7″. Still trying to determine a price and matting size. Printed on Kozo lightweight paper using an oil based etching ink. The name popped up while Dave & IContinue reading “I Pug You!”
The start of another week
Projects. So many to choose from and all involving some sort of due date. So where do I start this week? It all depends. If the project feels like mental torture, I’ll avoid it. For example: last week creating bowls seemed to be at the bottom of my list even though there happens to beContinue reading “The start of another week”
