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”

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!
Terrier on a Bench Print: start
I’m procrastinating heading into the DMV to renew my license. So like all good art procrastinators, I started a new project. Emma belongs to Cynthia & Patrick. The end block print will be 6″x 8″. Why green? I like to use pigment inks to test images rather than inking up a roller and making aContinue reading “Terrier on a Bench Print: start”
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”
Border Collie print contd.
Rogue is slowly coming forward from the block. Some of his black spots have disappeared and his nose is a bit funky, but no worries. It’s still the boy! Kind of dreading getting into the ear section and have yet to decide how the background will come together. Also contemplating the ball… yes there isContinue reading “Border Collie print contd.”
