Yesterday I started a print in honor of a friends birthday. Today I’ve finished it. Images below show the next proofs in the series. Overall, the image works for the most part. If I were to do it again, the nose would change (a bit higher and larger on the face) Also would work onContinue reading “Terrier Print continued”

Start of Terrier Print
We are invited to attend a good friends 55 birthday party on Saturday. He is a dog lover extraordinaire so I thought “why not create a little dog art!”. Patrick & Cynthia recently put down their old terrier. Unfortunately, I have lost all my reference photos of little old Danny, so a generic Boarder TerrierContinue reading “Start of Terrier Print”
Making Paper: The Start – Harvesting plants
Since taking a workshop back in July 2010, I’ve been seriously contemplating creating my own paper from start to finish. This is the year to go for it! I’ll be utilizing a couple of books written by Helen Hiebert, an amazing paper artist in Portland (and the one I took a Paper in 3D classContinue reading “Making Paper: The Start – Harvesting plants”
and then there were three
Warning to all: this is a non-art post. A bit more personal today. This morning I went through my normal chores, which have been thrown off due to the July schedule. The cockatiels were on the list, but I didn’t check them until after 11am. When I entered, they were fairly quiet. Then I noticedContinue reading “and then there were three”
Seizures Weekend with George
Many of you who know me realize I have a great passion for my pets. Our vets shake their heads at how old our critters reach before their date with death. A geriatric household is the norm. The cockatiels are all over 20 yrs at this point. The past two dogs, a basset hound andContinue reading “Seizures Weekend with George”
Sleep Deprivation and Demon Dogs
This morning started early due to “Demon Dog” Moby jumping on the bed. 70 lbs of leaping dog is something you can’t miss, especially when it’s on your sided. Nudging, pushing, standing over the top of me staring, stepping all over my legs, the Beast was making his point loud and clear. Hungry! Food please?!Continue reading “Sleep Deprivation and Demon Dogs”
Studio Photos & Card Making: day 2
Since there is often quite a bit of down time waiting for screens or paper to dry, I thought it might be nice for you to see my printmaking space prior to finishing the screen show. The slat wall helps hold many printmaking supplies along with journals and a mish-mash of items. The flat fileContinue reading “Studio Photos & Card Making: day 2”
Creating Cards
I have been looking around the studio in search of cards to sell during the upcoming event in July and discovered only one left. Wow, guess it’s time to get cracking on more! The last set were actually scrounged leftovers from a different project. Too many House 4E prayer flags created on paper so IContinue reading “Creating Cards”
Blowing through April
Here I am at April 25th, feeling like this month has been utterly unpredictable in weather and life. Two days of beautiful sunshine on Friday & Saturday, warm enough to open the sliding glass door. Now we’re back to rainy, windy, dark clouds, sunbreaks with rainbows sort of weather. My grandmother used to complain aboutContinue reading “Blowing through April”
Book Box Extra
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”
