I have been cutting away this week, mainly because at the moment I have little paid employment. This is bad for my wallet and good for my art as long as I have enough supplies! You can see that the way I cut my designs is to paint my block black and just go from there. I make marks in pencil and sometimes use them as a guide and sometimes not!
I will probably print next week. There is a gallery in Alstonville called Barret Galleries and they have a press which I can hire or strike some sort of deal!
The print was indeed inspired by my pond. There is a gudgeon in it, which I have never seen so it is pretty elusive so I have only hinted at its presence in the print. I had a water lilly flower that was pretty elusive also as it emerged from the water on a few occassions, only to be flattened in storms!
So anyhow I shall no doubt do some more work on it after it is proofed. I am thinking to print it in a light colour and maybe another layer on top, we will see.
I need one. Where do you sell? When? How much? plannedscapes@aol.com

ReplyDeletethank you for your nice comments, I just logged in and was grateful for the reassurance that it was all looking good. About sales, I have to think about that. I was planning on selling some work locally in local galleries and 'doing the rounds' with some prints and maybe do a local art fair. How to sell OS I am not sure. I will post at Baren just asking how it is done.
ReplyDeletei have s lotus print you might like if you want to trade - or any others - i will post on my blog if they are not already there - www.prairieoakartisans.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteOhhh, lovely! Etsy if super easy to set up, well I had a bit of learning curve, but then it's easy! and it is quite reasonable.
