Seth Apter has a call for paper stacks on his blog the altered page.  His photo of his stacks of papers looked great and I thought I can do that, it looks like fun.  I have lots of piles that could be made into stacks. What was I thinking?  I do have lots of piles of papers that don’t look so pretty.  I sorted through some prints that I did on tissue paper last week. I will share some pictures tomorrow.

What to do next?  I have gelatin in the refrigerator for printing, scarves on the line and soaking, blogs and web pages to be updated, proposals to be written, artwork to photograph and I need to go to the farm in an hour.  Ok little steps, break it down and do one thing at time. ahhh breathe….. so much for multi-tasking.

I would like to invite anyone in the area to stop by the ART FEST 2011 on the Bradford Common Saturday, September 10  10 AM to 4 PM.  I will have lots of gelatin prints, mixed media prints, fiber art, scarves and post cards and note cards.  

Hope to see you there.

So, I know everyone prints with ferns when they experiment with gelatin printing, but they do it because the results are awesome.   I used the Daniel Smith Water soluble block printing inks and thin tissue paper.  It will take a few days to dry and then I can collage the prints on to something.  Playing with photo editing options and going a bit crazy! Lightroom, photoshop, Elements, Organizer, Bridge, iPhoto, Aperture  So many choices.
