excellent. An al La Carte menu for those who will not attend the full
conference, is good and the charge could be for the workshops and time
the participant chooses to attend. Also I think it is definitely a
good idea to have a materials charge for any work shops. It sounds
like you are in high gear for organizing everything. I hope you get
some help!
When I sorted and moved into my new studio space I found a small lino
block that was never finished and run. It just was not working and
with a fresh eye I could tell it was the abstract background that was
in the way. I carved it out and all I had left was a floral image. I
thought that a bit boring for one color so I am busily running a small
series of reduction prints. Happily I am half way through color 2 and
have not lost one yet. I am using the L shaped jig and it is working
like a champ, a floating kento does work. I could have finished the
second color but had to quit before noon so we could go to the grand
opening of my friends new shop in the bigger town south of us. I gave
her a few pieces of my work (I usually do not do shops, but she is a
friend) and she wanted all her arts and crafts people to attend. He
little shop is called the Unique Boutique, for anyone who might come
to the Long Beach Peninsula and go into Long Beach to browse the
shops. She has it very nicely decorated and has a great assortment of
local arts and crafts, I think she will make a go of her little venture.
Visions of turkeys and cranberries are floating in my brain, perhaps
my next block shold be the harvesting of the cranberries, hmm!

years, and plan to combine the trip with a visit there, I will see if
I can round up any attendees from that area, too. I don't know how
many printmakers there are left in that area, since we moved 20 years
ago, and I think most of my students will have moved on, but there
might be a few. I hear the Desert Art League is still going, so I
will put out an alert to announce at their meetings. Also, a friend
has a small gallery there so I will get some Baren Brochures from
Barbara and send them down with Summit Info when we have it settled.
And, I can send some info down to the community college Art Dept.,
too, and ask the Dept. Head to push it! It sounds like we will have a
good crowd and a Blast, with a capital B. Good going, Maria!! Maybe
we need a Summit web page we can send people to -- just another wee
job, Maria - ;-)
Cheers from Sunny (but 40°) Washington State,

The new addition to the Digest with the blog entries at the bottom in
appendix form is wonderful! What a nice surprise! Thank you again,
for all you do, but I still want to know your secret for where you
find those extra hours in your days. I'm just sure that your days are
longer than mine..... ;-)
Cheers ~

 5" x 7" on Somerset paper with Graphic Chemical Bone Black Ink.  The print was then hand colored with acrylic paint. (I haven't decided whether I like the black and white version or the painted version better.) Marie for Jo-Ellen Truelove You know my Joey, he's a little man. He wouldn't even make a third of me. Well he was jabbing at me, going on about utilities, about the lights and water and the phone. "Marie," he said, "ya gotta shut your mouth. Your sister lives in As if I didn't know where Linda lives. He stuck his bony finger in my face and yelled about the bills. I hate it when he pokes that bony finger in my face. His face was red. "A bony lobster." That's my name for him. He hates it when I call him that. "Well Bony, why don't you just pay the bills and quit complaining. You're at fault as much as me." I told him. Lobster red he was. His mouth was working up a fit and that old bony finger jabbed away a whisker from my nose. I said to him I couldn't hear a word he said. And then I said, "I gotta make some water for your bills." and went to piss. I hadn't just got seated, he had left the cover up again, when there he was a jabbering away. Well what do you expect a girl to do? There wasn't any way he'd give me any peace. I couldn't even piss in peace. So sitting there, my dress all bunched around my waist, I let him have it. He just bounced into the shower where he knocked the curtain from the wall and landed there surrounded by that plastic organdy he's always after me to throw away. |
