Assembly Required

The little painting studio

and...

the printing studio.

I've been taking a break from making art and getting our house in order like I've mentioned in the past few posts. I thought I'd share some of the projects I've been working on. Finally assembled are these Ikea glass cases! I'm so excited to finally use them since I've been toting them to each house we've lived in since our wedding day!!! (I actually bought them for a house I was going to move to at the time of our engagement... never made it to that house.) Anyway, I have a strong yearning for order around here! It's almost like nesting when I was hugely pregnant. (no, I'm not pregnant!!)

Next... I plan to paint over some old canvases that I hate and recycle them into brand new paintings. I'd like to start painting big again in my studio - it will have to be a 'late in the evening affair'. But, maybe just a few nights a week, something could emerge!

Fresh May Prints

The prints above my press

Last night I got lucky and had some time to print!!! Here is a peek at my printing studio, it's a bit messy but it's a great set up and I can leave everything out so I'm ready to go when I get a chance to print. Now, I just have to wait for them to dry. I printed on some old book pages and solid printed backgrounds to print over... plus some larger ones that I will also be printing over. It's exciting to do some layering... haven't done it for ages. :)
