  1. This Amazing 16 page journal by Teesha Moore is very thorough  and clear.  I have not done it yet but I am going to.
  2. Michelle from PrintCutSew.com  has a great video tutorial for paper stencil screen printing.
  3. How to not track your own visits in Google Analytics. I know this is not crafty or artsy, but we are more than artists and sometimes this stuff is good to know.
  4. How to make a vegan vanilla “cappuccino” – I enjoyed this recipe, I hope you will too.
  5. This is one t-shirt redo that I have wanted to try, but have not gotten around to it yet.

 

We are so lucky to have so much information available to us for free on the internet.  I am sharing these 5 favorite tutorials as part of the Link Love Mission hosted by Tammy Garcia from Daisy Yellow and Sister Diane from Crafty Pod.

I am a week behind, but I hope that is ok.  Sharing is always good even when it is a little late.share the link love daisy yellow

Just Let Go – in life and printing

gelatin print of a woman with raised arms by linda germainToday there is something in the air.  I checked the pollen reports and it is not high, but my eyes and sinuses are sore. My body aches and I just want to sleep.  hmmm?  Enough whining.

I have this gelatin plate print for the ICAD today.  I used

  • index card
  • speedball inks
  • hand cut stencil
  • I used the stencil to transfer the black ink to the paper.  See the 3 tips video over here

I have added some cards to my Etsy shop.  Check them out here.

 

Happy Printing!
