Day Nine of Thirty!

A digital collage, with a journal page from my book of the dead, and several texture layers.

Finally, some art!

27th of Phanenoth, 28 days until I leave on the journey of a lifetime!

Stamps that I purchased years ago, before I even dreamed of going to Egypt!

Already used them in my travel journal.

(this is the wooden box that they came in!)

Small collage entitled I-She, probably will be mounted on the burlap on canvas

for a recycled art show in April at First Unitarian in Albuquerque.

Collage and mounted on recycled cardboard base.

Artful Sunday

I had my little art group, with some additions, over for an Artful Sunday. Of course we ate: appetizers, antipasto, salmon salad, crackers and fruit salad. Great group and good food! The mission for the day was to cut our own stamps, and some of us did that and some did not. But a good time was had by all!

I am taking a relief printing course with a local printer, Carol Sanchez. She is great, and last night we just got an orientation and started cutting on lino and wood. I did not care so much for the wood, but loved the lino. Next week we will make our first prints! Can't wait, and brought home homework!

I am a docent at a relatively new gallery, 516 Arts in downtown Albuquerque. Tomorrow night we are showing a collage film for a local film exhibition. Should be interesting. If you are in the Albuquerque area, they have a fantastic show on collage and drawings that will be up until the end of May.
