After finally completing wearable art for the show next month, I am happy to return to my experiments with gelatin plate monoprinting. My goal is to create images on cloth to be stitched up for my next gallery show in September, as well as images on paper for a museum show here in November.

Today Lent begins with Ash Wednesday service at churches around the world, including at our little Lutheran church on the hill in town where I will be this evening. Flossy and I wish you all a sweet season of reflection and a returning to Light.

ReplyDeleteSus, I'm really loving your monoprints. The one in the bottom right corner with the house and tree and ladder is my favorite, I think...
