Enjoy this video and then list the 3 benefits that you offer others.  I am doing it!

 

My gelatin printmaking workshops create positive impact for you because-

  1. I give you a save place to play.  Play is essential to happiness.
  2. You discover or develop your ability to see beauty and possibility in what is right in front of you.
  3. You learn to embrace surprise and let go of failure and create potential!!!

Did you have a good giggle?

Enjoy!

Fashion forward is the theme for Haverhill 2014 Sole-a-bration

2010, Haverhill / /

fashion forward soleabration in haverhill by linda germainI am thinking about submitting a proposal for the community shoe event.

These foot prints are my idea.

Do you think folks in town will want to make a foot print to be collaged on to the fiberglass shoe/bench?

Fun to see how different foot prints can be.

Here’s the link to the Team Haverhill call for proposals for the Sole-a-bration.

Happy Printing

Playing with Thermo fax screens

2010, screen printing / /

Thermo fax screen for printmaking by linda germainOver a year ago, I made several thermofax printing screens at the Lowell Fiber Studio with Linda Dunn.  I was excited to use them but some how I played with a few, but then went back to gelatin printing.

I love the details that are possible with screen printing.  I have the stuff to do emulsions and burn screens but never got to it.  I have made a few drawing fluid screens that I like but the line quality it definitely rougher.

I like the combination of abstract marks from the brayer and the details of the thermo fax screen.  I like that I can turn a high contrast photo or a doodle drawing into a screen and make multiple impressions.

If you want to give thermo fax printing a try, I have a few of my used screens for sale in my Etsy shop StudioGermain.  Get one and print it on fabric, paper, prints, cards and more.

Happy Printing!
