Well, the mystery certainly left in color 4. So, here is the fifth and final color. The ink wasn’t dry when I took the shot so there happens to be a bit of glare from overhead lights and doesn’t look very dark. But it’s finished. It’s so finished I’ve already signed and bundled up theContinue reading “Mystery Screen: color 5 and finished”

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”
Annie in red test
Decisions, decisions… What color to choose for Annie’s scarf? I did an experiment using red vellum & a pair of scissors to get an idea. It involved creating two prints & combining…. not what I would actually be doing. There was a discovery when printing on vellum: oil based ink doesn’t dry. Wonder if theContinue reading “Annie in red test”
Annie getting closer…
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…”

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!”
