Finishing Gelatin Prints for the Holiday Season

I have not been printing anything new lately.  I have lots of prints that just need to be cropped, and matted to be ready to show, sell or gift away.  I am adjusting my attitude and letting this finishing process be fun.  I made a bunch of cards tonight that I hope to putting in the NAA gift shop.  Lynn arts is having a great holiday show and sale.  So I am preparing some prints for that.

Veasey Park is having a Wine and Art Sale.  I am considering preparing some work for that event.  I have been posting  for sale a small print each day at my new blog .  So life is good! I am meeting with my printmakers group on Monday and my Artist Way group too.  I look forward the connection with my artist friends.  http://www.linda-germain.com/
