As you know, I have a tendency to working small. I live in a small New York City apartment. My studio, if this is what you call it, resides within my home. My ‘wet studio’ consists of a 2 foot by 4 foot workbench. So, of course, the fabrics I print need to be sizedContinue reading “Working Large”

big sigh of relief.
Let me tell you, it feels good to be printing for no one but myself. It feels good not to be working under a deadline. It feels good to take a break in the middle of the day and feel no guilt what-so-ever. It feels good to leave the house. It feels good to writeContinue reading “big sigh of relief.”
General rambling, + winner announcement.
It has been a rough ride these last few weeks. A roller coaster, really. It is taking focus and drive to stay above the ‘frustrated fray’. Luckily, there is a new hand made ice cream store, open Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and they have Muscavado Brown Sugar Caramel ice cream. I mean, that makes everything better.Continue reading “General rambling, + winner announcement.”
Winners announced.
Before I announce the winners from the Meadowlark Blog Hop Winners off my own web site, I would like to talk about moving. Please pardon me while I prattle on. David and I moved to Brooklyn 5.5 years ago, renting an apartment not far from where I live now. Many things happened during this time.Continue reading “Winners announced.”

It seems I am no longer concerned about what media I use to express my vision, cloth, paper, itContinue reading “On my desk”
Working away
I have just 6 more birds from the list of 20 Common Birds in Decline to do. Today I printed 3 of 4 recently cut and mounted stamps, before I was stopped in my tracks for the lack of soda ash soaked cloth. And, while looking over the recent images, I think I should reprintContinue reading “Working away”
Be prepared!
My studio reorganization is now complete. I went through every single box, prison 8-O, drawer, everything. Wow. I am impressed with myself! Over the weekend I am going to film an ‘interview’ of myself and my space and reveal all I have done. This upcoming post will have a giveaway of some Fuglies (defined asContinue reading “Be prepared!”
Deeper and deeper
Deep cleaning sure takes a lot of work. I have been going through every bin and drawer, sorting, rearranging, recycling and getting rid of a few things. I haven’t gotten rid of much, really, I keep a pretty tight ship over here, but I have been stuffing miscellaneous items into the wrong drawers and binsContinue reading “Deeper and deeper”
The monsters in my studio
The above cabinet is really a monster. I jam pack stuff into and need to pull stuff out and rearrange things every time I need something stored in it. My intention for this cabinet is to store items that will be used in wet work, In other words, soda soaked cloth, urea, textile paint, brushesContinue reading “The monsters in my studio”
