Do you ever need a little inspiration to create?

Today I went to the Art Biz blog by Alyson B. Stanfield and read about Chris Guillebeau and the  World Domination Summit.

WDS is a gathering of speakers and people who pursue big dreams while changing the world.  I was disappointed that I could not attend the summit that is happening in a couple of days, so I started to check out the speakers.

Which lead me to a number of TED videos –

Happy Day!

Go to the altered page and see how everyone else stack them up.  This was a fun challenge. Here’s another stack of tea bag papers.

If you would like to explore printing on alternative papers, then check out the next session of Make Monotypes. It is an online printmaking class, using ink on paper and the gelatin and glycerin plate.
Tea bags and tissue paper can be an interesting substrate for this printing process.  They are very absorbent and can hold the detailed impression nicely.
By the end of the printing course you will have stacks of monotype prints with potential.  We will approach the gel printing process with the intent to discover the possibilities of this non-toxic medium.
