I am producing lots of Monotype prints and some are even good. The Challenge to walk and gather objects to print with each day has been a good one. I have been using the Daniel Smith water soluable inks. I really like the rich color that they produce. The prints have been drying in a few days which is pretty good too.

I found a build your own etching press website. I ordered the plans. I am lucky to have my studio in a machine shop. We will see how it goes with pricing the cost of materials.

I was able to mat and frame two fun gelatin Monotype prints for the Newburyport Art Associations Fall Members Show. I will drop them off tomorrow, and hope that they get into the show.

MGNE has mailed the results for the first national show. The artist response was fantastic which made it challenging for the juror Aprile Gallant, curator of prints, drawings and photographs at Smith College Museum of Art. Guild information The print show is at the Attleboro Arts Museum, Attleboro, MA and will run from September 6 to October 3, 2008.

Linda Germain  just finished teaching the first week of College for Kids, at Northern Essex Community College. http://www.necc.mass.edu/ She was teaching experimental painting to 9 to 11 year old children. They did a series of one minute self portraits. See some of their work at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W7DziFzhSQ. The children had plenty of time for self guided paintings and those are the subject of the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyP8N4qhPpc&feature=user There are 3 more weeks of the program and there are still openings in some of the classes for more information go to http://www.necc.mass.edu/collegeforkids/
