We all have been given the advice to find our passion. That we must find our passion to truly be happy. I remember hearing this catch phrase and asking myself what my passion was. I really had no clue what it would be or even how to find it. I continued to try and findContinueContinue reading “Finding Your Passion”

What if?….
The frst print project complete for this term. What a challenging project full of opportunities, mistakes, and successes. What more could you want out of a project. At the urging of my instrutor I did a double plate linocut for this project. Two separate plate with unregistered designs on them. This was a huge challengeContinueContinue reading “What if?….”

I am learning that printmaking can be challenging and you can’t alway predict the results but when it works….BAM… it’s worth everyContinueContinue reading “Here Goes Nothing!….”
Screenprinting: Experimenting With Screen Filler and Drawing Fluid
The next screen printing project was right up my alley. The theme for this project was experimentation. It is always so invigorating but frustrating to the creative process when you are experimenting with techniques and materials. The project required using screen filler and/or drawing fluid to create a print. Paper or acetate stencils could alsoContinueContinue reading “Screenprinting: Experimenting With Screen Filler and Drawing Fluid”
