School is getting ready to start and I am very excited!! Lots of neat ideas, looking forward to meeting new students and seeing the old too! Just wish I had everything in the house done already. Redoing both bedrooms is time consuming. I am refinishing a bedroom set that I bought last month and It isnt finished yet adn I already have the table and chairs for the kitchen in to start the processs on too!

Where did the summer go?

Way back in May I got up off of my butt to participate in the May Show at he Mansfield Art center. I didn't get in to the show but I did give my mother one of the collograph print series that I made. She seems to love or at least like it. These are some of the other prints from that plate while I was experimenting. I don't have the final framed work pictured. The black one is just getting a base of ink to work with and the color unfortunately was damaged in the press. I stopped to talk to someone when the plate wasn't all the way through the rollers.

I was inspired by my friend Sally Tharp who has a daily blog with all of her amazing artwork to get my but in gear and do one of my own. I figured that if I started writing about it, I would have to do it so.........today I am working on organizing my studio. It is the first day that school is out and I have to put all that stuff somewhere that I lugged home. I am probably going to toss Van Helsing into the DVD palyer for some noise and see how far I get. I am hoping to get it all finished by this Friday so that Monday I can really get started doing "stuff". I have a series of prints I want to work on that focus on family and relationships.
