THANK YOU!

I'm still floating a few feet above ground since last Friday's opening. THANK YOU to all who came to the exhibit! I think we counted close to a hundred people and I can't tell you how grateful I am for all the support.

Not only was it fun to give the artist talk (once I got over my butterflies), it was also interesting to hear people's comments and interpretation of the work. I feel so incredibly lucky to be able to share what I love with others. When they appreciate the work, it's like "icing on the cake", or for me "chocolate sauce on ice cream".

The exhibit will be up until February 25th, so if you didn't get a chance to see it yet, please stop by. I would also be happy to meet any individuals or groups there to talk more about the process.

Lastly, I'm happy to make additional prints if you are interested in a piece that has already sold. I plan to continue collecting plant shadows this summer as well as experiment with new invasive papers, so there will be plenty more prints to choose from in the future.

Thanks again to Lansing Art Gallery, Michigan Nature Association, Dan Kramer and EVERYONE who helped me get this project going!

 
  
 

Ready to Go!

The prints are up and it is GO TIME!

Thank you Sara Pulver, Gallery Coordinator and SUPERWOMAN, for hanging the exhibit with me yesterday! It was so much fun!

The exhibit opens TONIGHT: 6-8 pm at Lansing Art Gallery. Be there or be..............whatever - JUST COME and have fun! :)

Final Preparation for the Show!

I'm so excited for the show next Friday evening! Yay!

Dan finished the frames last week. I can't thank him enough! They are beautiful - made from reclaimed cherry, oak, and walnut.



I'm now on the final leg of putting the pieces together. I've cleaned all the glass and matched prints to frames. Tomorrow I'll pin them, attach hooks and wire, and pack them up for transport to the gallery next week. I may give you a sneak peek of one of the finished pieces. Or maybe I won't. You may just have to come to the show. :)

Only 4 Weeks Away!!

Shadows of Shadows

Two of my shadow transparencies make shadows of their own while drying before a transfer.

Frames (Part 2)

My husband is finished cutting and gluing the reclaimed cherry, maple, oak, and walnut frames. The next step is putting in the corner splines, sanding and finishing. They're going to look great when they're finished!

Simple Pleasures

I don't know why, but there's something so incredibly satisfying about peeling a piece of paper off fabric after it has dried. It's my favorite part of the process. (reed canarygrass paper)
