(and my sticky mat) I expected my mood board to change; but it didn’t really. Most of my art is graphic, bright, happy and based on the coastal environment. I work a lot in red. The odemin & kagagi (strawberry & crow) are culturally important to me. I added the textiles and the pop bottle…
Over the break I took some time (and had lots of fun) printing on textiles, and I trapped some squid 🦑 I also magically picked up a wholesale order for my tea towels so my next project is to use the fine mesh to print the tags that I designed so I can ship these…
I hope I did not appear disrespectful; nor a distraction during George Littlechild’s discussion.In the midst of it I got a call from my alarm company that my son’s medical emergency button had been activated (he is disabled and living on his own).

Reclaiming & Printing on Textile I had some practice reclaiming in week two due to my humidity problem. I learned this week that I should at least wet my screen while I am doing my clean up. I think I had a bit of ink dry as I cleaned my palette knife and my squeegee…
Collage/exposure/printing well……this was a HUGE adventure/disaster and learning curve for me. I coated my screen, put them it a dark box and and did my first exposure. When I went to rinse, all the emulsion came off too, except for a couple of spots. I ended up reclaiming. SO on my second and third tries…
I was pretty excited to pull my first prints ! So much for Blue Monday ! They turned out really great, and I am very much looking forward to the remainder of our lessons. A little peek at my incredibly small and quite messy studio. I am fortunate to have the natural light, and a…
