| FREE STUFF @ the golden acrylics demo |
Saturday I went to a talk by Adria Arch about golden acrylics at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center in Gloucester. And I got this goody bag of paints and mediums to try. I am really excited to try the open acrylics with the gelatin plate and see how I like it. But off to the farm to plant seedlings first.

Well we had to great days playing with gelatin printmaking @ the artists playground. We had creatives ranging in age from 12 to 62. Everyone had fun and experimented with tools, materials, papers, inks and plates. Many participants tried the Gelli Plate and loved it. We went through a 500 sheet ream of paper, we used tissue paper and book pages. Of course I was too busy to get pictures but Karen Wihbey shared a few of her prints on her blog. Hopefully more pictures to come.

| ©2012 Linda Germain Gelatin Prints and some book forms |
Today I went into Boston to the Athenaeum to see the Artists’ Books Exhibit. What a wonderful space to just be with books. The exhibit show cases books from the Athenaeum’s collection. Inspiring! I came home and played with a single page book form. I followed the instructions in Book + Art by Dorothy Simpson Krause. I am going to exhibit several of my artist books at the Sage Art Gallery, in March. I am excited about putting this show together. Must Run! Happy Printing.

I had some fun in the studio today. I am teaching a class at Lynn Arts during school vacation week – Shapeshifting – native american art in conjunction with the current exhibit at PEM. This project is going to be a totem pole of animal totems that are based on the birth dates of each child. I wonder what my tribe will be like. These animals are painted on recycled cereal boxes and then stacked. So fun to Play.
