Time to Play

2010, Uncategorized / /
Today I did some reading, played with some collages and struggled again with my paypal button.  I think it is a problem with blogger software.  I am hoping it is temporary and will fix itself.  I was reminded of Artist Congress 2009 that is meeting at the Boston Public Library.  Sound like lots of free information.  The Ghost print workshop that I taught last night was fun for all.  Everyone came in with inspiration for their prints.  They are seeing their world differently now.  They are noticing textures, share and potential printmaking tools.  Yeah!!!  I have been reading Ignore Everybody and 39 other Keys to Creativity by Hugh MacLeod.  It is funny, straight forward and helpful.  http://www.linda-germain.com/ http://lindagermain.blogspot.com/

New Studio Mate and Preparing for Ghost Print Workshop

2010 / /
Today I am gathering ghost images to use as examples for my Gelatin Print Workshop tonight.  You can see some of the one I chose in the background.  This is my new studio mate.  He is a Sock Monkey that I got from Cathy Mclaurin, as part of her online project Daily Diminishings  Each day she posts an item from her past that she wants to release, give away. Check it out at http://dailydiminishing.wordpress.com/

 I have worked out the kinks on my new daily print site. http://lindagermain.blogspot.com/ Have a great Day!

I Sort. I Pile. I Print.

I just placed a paper and mat board order with Dick Blick. I worry if the white of the board will match the white of the paper. I hope so. I have been trying to mat and frame some work today. I find myself avoiding it. I sort. I pile. I go to the computer. I go to lunch. I sort some more. Hmmmm. I guess I need to break it down into baby steps and set some deadlines. I would rather be playing with ink and stuff. I will make time for both. Enjoy! http://www.linda-germain.com/
