WEBSITE

Hey Everybody!!! I am pleased to announce that the website is back up and running. Lots of pictures of everything I have been making lately. Stop by and take a look. Don't forget to sign my guestbook.

Screen printing Packaging (round one)

I am still getting things ready for Baltimore. I made some boxes for for the flying machines and found some bags for the small stuff. I really am liking the way things turned out. Only the bags gave me a bit of trouble. The handles keept getting in the way.
Hand cut boxes from chipboard.

The first color of my two color print.

Printed boxes.

Printed bags. I thought I might have to change out the ribbon handles but now I think they look fine with the color I mixed.
I will post pictures of the second color (gold) after they are finished. Also can't wait to show off boxes after they have been cut some more and put together in all their cagelike glory. I think I am spending as much time on the boxes as I did the work. Not really though. Once I got the template worked out it didn't take too long.

We had open studio at Pepe (the fibers building) last Friday night. It was a fun time to show of work to anyone who came through for a visit. There was fantastic work all over the building. Here is a picture of my studio.

A Little Light

I am only a few days away from heading to the American Craft Council (www.craftcouncil.org)trade show in Baltimore. These are some little pieces that I am taking with me. They are wood frame boxed I made with hand cut paper frames on front. The inside is a wonderland of paper, fabric, ink, stiches and LIGHT!. The birds are at it again trapping all creatures that they can trick into believing in the beak.
