warming up.goofing off
"eye thought" photobooth .bulge.
i spent the day warming up.
i have a few important projects
and collaborations looming and
have not spent a bit of productive time
at my art table in well over a month.
warming up is a necessary part of my process,
creatively speaking.
i started my warming up by goofing off.
hence,the wacky self-portrait....deep in thought,
well,sort of. i guess goofing is part of that same process.
my friend and exceptionally talented artist,jen worden
posted a monoprint challenge a day or so ago.
i gathered my tools:
- 11x13 plexi glass
- brayers
- tweezers
- liquitex acrylics
- a variety of papers
- masks
i used brilliant yellow green,
alizarin crimson hue perm.,chromium oxide green,
deep turquoise and dioxazine purple.scrapbook paper
and stonehenge were papers at hand and i dragged out
a couple of heidi swapp masks to play with.
a really satisfying exercise...just what i needed to warm up,
thanks,jen!
my renditions below....
do you know mac?
mac os x.
i made the decision to replace my old dell with this pretty,shiny new macintosh.
i have had it for a week now,and i DO love it.i do.i knew it would be different.it is.
i am slowly getting to know the new ways and having fun with the gadgets..like the
photobooth feature...having fun hamming for it..seeing the many faces i can make,
killing untold amounts of time...but getting to know someone/something takes time.
my cd's are all stacked up waiting their turns to be cataloged in iTunes.fun.
BUT
i miss my picasa.
i miss putting "hidden" links on my blog...i lost the capability i used to know.
i love to link...can you help me? do YOU know mac?
help a girl out!!!!!pretty please.
relevant to my life today....

"You have to post these rules before you give the facts. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had. When you are tagged you need to write your own blogpost containing your own middle name game facts. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged and to read your blog."
