It’s been almost a week since working on Annie. My mental deadline for accomplishing 4 dog prints before Thanksgiving has been blown. Oh well! Life happens amongst art projects. Still working my way to the center of this block (nose & mouth zone) and trying to figure out how the scarf should be draping aroundContinue reading “Annie getting closer…”

Pug time!
Here comes Annie, bursting through the block. She lives in Corvallis with an incredible family I dearly love. Four in all: Bruce works with my husband Dave, Ella is a phenomenal mosaic artist (Sacred Shard Mosaics) plus good friend, and the girls are just the best (artists, athletes…. you name it!! They graciously share Annie’sContinue reading “Pug time!”
A little Emma time
Thanksgiving is this next week and my house is a total disaster. Rather than start cleaning, I started printing & making a larger mess. It had been several weeks since last working on this block and I determined that wasn’t good. Especially after I started cutting away more. But other art projects needed my attentionContinue reading “A little Emma time”
A lot of Reggie!
Yesterday afternoon during a torrential downpour, I worked my way through part of an edition of Reggie dog. Today I pulled them out from under the blotters and sorted quality. Looks like five don’t make the cut so far. Still wondering how large an edition I should create. How many Labradoodle lovers are out thereContinue reading “A lot of Reggie!”
Terrier Print: day 3
I thought I told myself to not work on the print today. Sit is getting pretty close to completion. I’ll let it rest for a day or two and allow it to mull about in my brain. Onward with the next project!
Terrier on a Bench Print: day 2
Ah, the best way to spend a birthday is by working on art! Emma’s wavy chest hairs have taken form. Feet are taking form too. This print will probably be titled “Sit”. Tomorrow I’ll need to get back to work on the Portal piece since the due date is approaching. Then there is the NovContinue reading “Terrier on a Bench Print: day 2”
Terrier on a Bench: day 1 progress
This was the progress made yesterday afternoon. Quite a jump from the first posting. That sneaky Emma is starting to show through!
Border Collie Print: second block
Looks like it will be a toss up between two blocks now. Block #1 took on a …. well…. lemur like ear appearance yesterday. Rather tufty and not what I wanted. Kind of difficult to add back to the block. To satisfy my need to get things right, I started another block. I really likeContinue reading “Border Collie Print: second block”
Labradoodle print: second try
It’s always so easy to make a wrong cut when working with block prints. On examination of the first block I realized Reggie’s lower jaw had just become hair. So, I pulled out another block and started over. It’s getting pretty close to completion now!
