WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO LATELY
Well, I participated in the Gel Printing Session Kickoff (free learning how to use the gel plate and get some neat things from various teachers); then did the Sketchbook Revival 2024 lessons; and now I’m in the Gel Printing Sessions 2024 lessons! Whew! I am working working working, watching videos, learning, trying new things and old things and making lots of stuff. And I think it is because it keeps me from sitting watching the weather channel and Facebook pages of friends who got hit HARD by Hurricane Helene and then Hurricane Milton. Going into my little art room away from the t.v. And internet has been helpful. I even sent a bunch of my prints to my artist friend whose galleries both were demolished in Asheville, North Carolina. She went 8 days without power and water at her home even though she didn’t get flooded. And lost so many pieces of art she’d made. So it felt good to send her some of these prints I’d made (I mean, what am I going to do with them all?!? Ha ha)
Some of the prints are on rice paper or thin printing paper, some are on watercolor blank cards and some are on printing paper (a bit more absorbent than watercolor paper).
And these are the ones I kept - sent Li this many and more because I had made prints before and just stacked them in an envelope I found. I hope she can use them to make her torn collage pieces. (If you want to look her up, look up Li Newton and see her work - I bought here 2024 calendar full of very creative critters inspired by artists).
