What a glorious gift to have two days JUST for ART! No cooking or shopping or laundry or carpooling. No meetings or emails. Just me, Lola and Pandora in the studio...bliss!
I continued to work on my mountain landscape monoprints. These are small 4" x 13" studies on leftover scraps of paper from another project. The plan is to find a few I really like and enlarge the composition on a new fabric-type paper called Evolon that I ordered.
Evolon is a new micro-fiber material that is super strong, but soft. I read about it on another printmaker's blog and was dying to try it. Because it is much like fabric, I think I can sew pieces of it together, to create a print larger than my press's capacity. My press can print up to 17" x 36" but by combining and sewing more than one together (after printing), I can create something BIG!
I've got 10 more still unfinished in the studio for tomorrow - and a test on some Evolon!
Please let me know if you have a favorite you would like to see as my BIG WOW piece in November!
