Happy to be in the studio these days.  Still I feel pulled in other directions but I am breaking goals down into 20 minute steps and getting stuff done.  New eye glasses are helping me to see things clearly 🙂  I wrote a proposal for a new series of workshops and it just flowed out!!  That’s a good day

I usually work freely with out expectations and demands.  Today I tried to put myself in production mode and just got tight and made “mistakes.”  It was not a good feeling and not very productive.  But rather than call it a wasted day, I am going to take a new approach to “production.”  Certain activities like cropping existing prints require less creative flow.  So tomorrow  I am going to produce cards by cropping existing materials.  Let’s see if it works.

I could use your help and advise about photo editing and managing software on a Mac.  I took the leap and got a Macbook a couple of weeks ago, and I have a lot to learn.  I am coming from an old PC, using photoshop 6 to edit and folders by date to manage.  Out of 14 GB of documents to transfer from my old computer 13GB are photos and mostly of my artwork.  I have been trying out Elements 9, checking out iPhoto,  and elements organizer.  Thanks.

Prints off to the the Littlest Print Exchange

So I am participating in the Littlest Print Exchange, and I sent out may package of prints yesterday.  The deadline was the 15th.  Why wait ’til the last minute?  I don’t know.  The theme this year is accessibility.  How it works is I sent in 51 prints 3″ x 3″ and I get back a full set of 50 prints, one from everyone in the exchange.  This is my first time participating.  I am excited to see what I get back.  I am thinking of trying to find a local venue to exhibit the portfolio.
