early in the morning

It has been a little while!

Things have been a little crazy here. Melissa my little sister broke her elbow last week and I had to be the mom so I lost an entire week of work. I really needed to clean up the line of patterns that I designed, so that I could make a book using those patterns, to show people... didn't happen YET. So that is really like a months worth of work that I get to do in the next couple of days. I do love a challange. I've also been finishing some books... working on a print every once in a while. I am just generally behind, and I go home next week and all of these things must be completed. So, I will just be praying and working every second that I have to get everything done... this would be lightyears easier and fairly complete already if I had my own computer... i'll get there eventually.

I have been working on a new print. As I have mentioned before, I really enjoy dry point, and non acid methods. This plate was done with dry point and a mezzo tint. The funniest thing though... we got this new ink in called midnight blue, and for some strange reason it smells Blue! Isn't that funny when things smell like a color? It is the only ink that smells that way... not that I recommend that you go smelling inks and keep a chart or diagram on how they compare to eachother..

it really is fall. There are some trees out in front of a church building across the street from where I live, and one day one of the trees was completely yellow, and the next day all the leaves were winding up and down the street and the tree was empty... also pomagranites are in the store again. The best price I have seen yet is $1.50 each.

hey guess what?! I will see some of you peeps at market!
