Reunited with my press at last! Since I wasn’t able to locate suitable studio space in Annapolis fast enough, I set up shop in my parents’ garage. I found a little space amidst the cobwebs, strung a line across the garage door, and clamped my press to some scrap wood upheld between two saw horses. It works well enough in a pinch. In addition to working on new t-shirt designs and graphic design projects, I also managed to print the first two colors for a new run of Love Birds prints.
The past two weeks away from the boat have done wonders for my productivity. It’s been great having direct access to a scanner, printer, utility sink, reliable internet, and a larger space where I don’t have to worry too much about making a mess. But it was especially nice to have some company (my furry friend) around the “shop,” since I’ve been missing Brian terribly.
Dear Laura: I NEVER would of believed anyone that would tell me I’d be reading some sailing blogs…and then commenting….world is filled with many wonders….but you captured my interest, in reading Teresa’s…and now your enthusiasm for returning full blast to your art and your sense of creativity has stirred a real excitment for you, in me….I can’t wait to see your new pieces…and I am going to be watching you….what I see is lovely….and inspiring….you are very blessed to have such talent and to recognize it…..you’ll be hearing from me, I’m sure of that. Best wishes……..I bet your parents are thrilled to have you home for however long…..
Fran,
Thank you for the nice comment and compliments. It is refreshing to exercise my creativity again (after an eight month break!). There are many new avenues to explore and details to work out in regards to my art, but I will find my way. This is all uncharted territory for me, and it is exciting. Hopefully I will be posting more about my current projects soon. Thanks for the encouragement!
