"Numbers"

This is a mixed media piece. I was messing around with making paper have that worn look and drawing with stitching. It takes a little practice in controlling the machine for the stitching.

New Collage Pieces

These new collage pieces were done using Xerographic Printmaking technique.
This printmaking technique is similar to lithographic printmaking, however, instead of using a heavy stone, we replace it with a paper xerox copy.
The technique was vaguely familiar to me from having worked in litho many years ago in college.
I really like working with paper because it is a fast process compare to working with the stone. Stone work from what I can remember was very long and tedious.
In experimenting with this technique, I have found that you can get 2-3 prints off one image. After each print the image starts to break down and of course there is no comparison in quality of print between working the stone versus paper. Stone prints by far are superior.
Some of the pieces were embellished with brads and wire.

ATC-mixed media

Items used for this card are electrical tape, bees wax, crayons, strips from a print, hand made stamps, aluminum tape, ink, and wire. Before I came to this finished product, I had originally had the card completely covered with a very think layer of swirl colored wax. I was happy with the thick layer, but it had other ideas. It landed up cracking and I was on the road to creating something totally different.

Art Journal

Finished another page in my journal. I bought a few neat goodies when I was in Indianapolis a few weeks ago at a huge 3-block yard sale. There are enough people who attend this sale that they bring out the food vendors and port-a-pots. Anyway, I found this women selling several films on a reel and I bought one. I also found several books for collaging.
This journal has strips of movie film and butterfly stamps from a very old book. I've also used bees wax, strips of leather, pieces of prints, and stamping.

YWCA's Women's Art Gallery Opening

Group photo of all the artists participating in the show.
The show "Revisiting Tiger Lily" opened last night and we had a really great turn out! The show pays tribute to the print club Tiger Lily, which started in 1978 at the Y. It is an all womens' gallery, but they made an exception to allow two men from the print club to exhibit their work.
