I had a much needed day in the studio yesterday. Worked on my second proof of my Spirit Dove. It took me 3 and half hours to set up and print the proof. Half hour of rethinking and organizing for the next Print Day. Then a good 2 hours of clean up. Good day in …

Saying Hello
I haven’t had a change to get to the studio to print. Just stopping by my lonely blog to say hello. Love taking photos out my apartment windows. I am in a basement apartment. I look up ! That was my week.
Starting over Again
Lucky to have had two days in the studio. After lot’s of fussing with plates, making a template printing two layers of copper plates- I need to start over. I plan to start the proof again. Change the dark plates and fix the wing. That is what proofing is all about. Happy Printing Everyone.
The Printing Plan
My plan in pictures. Copper plates are so pretty when they are cleaned:) I will be back again when I ink up some copper plates in the Studio. And to end a fun music binder picture I made for my G whistle practice. All the best wished for Everyone!!!

Wishing Everyone the best in 2021
I haven’t been to the Studio since last Nov. 5th. I was playing with another idea, not sure where I was going with it 🙂 No title. At the apartment I have finished a collagraph plate with Cats and and Dragons in it. I am so grateful for my Fibre Arts and Music – Celtic …
Cat With No Hat
The etched plate and proof. I love working on copper plates this way. The Aquatint is so rich and so simple. The blue paper was dyed in Japanese Indigo that I grew. I used to dump scraps of paper at the end of a dye day and leave them over night. I have a huge …
Happy Days in Print Studio
I took lots of photos of what I am playing with in the Studio, so this blog entry is a very condensed version of the four days. I have about 10 maybes completed of “All In A Days Work” and I am moving on to start playing with two old ImagOn plates. So glad I …
