practice
experimenting
Original photo on left. Saw this as I was working pulling weeds out of my mom’s flowerbed.
Bent over, I glanced over toward my garage. A strange perspective. Bent over and looking around.
the Middle picture is a painting I was working with cold wax. Hmmmm????
I’ll combine the two. Tell me what you think? As I commented, Experimenting.
Day Before my Sister's Birthday
I’ve been looking at old family photos.
Makes me homesick for family. Also, I am thinking about Mother’s day coming up.
I do hope everyone is looking at and archiving (sharing) their family photographs.
Happy Birthday Lucy
when we were kids
Lucy is the one on the right.
And. . . Mothers’ Day is coming up. My mom was the best. Here is a killer photo of her before she became a mom.
She must have been in her 20’s. We never saw this till her Aunt sent it to my sister sometime after my mommie passed away.
This got me thinking about photographing old photos and making new copies for family members. I was so worried that if
we mailed it off it would get lost. It was a one of kind. Thank you sister for sharing this.
A Quiet Place
“A Quiet Place” Cold Wax Medium.
04-01-2020 A sunny Day, A new month.
March Gelli Print
Original 1st proof Gelli Print
from Gelli print
To Note Card
I don’t have a title yet for this yet.
The original size of the gelli medium is 5x5 so I’m working small so I get the process down.
My thought process is like cleaning out one my junk drawers. The large image at the top is
a scan of the original geli print. (a link to the process) https://medwayfineprintmakers.co.uk/2015/03/21/gelli-prints-monoprinting-with-a-jelly-plate/
Recently, I decided to explore different mediums and see how I can incorporate what I learn there with my photography. I’ve explored Polaroid transfers, digital transfers, making digital negatives, Cyano Types, , etc. All using my digital darkroom. A fairly dry and organized medium. Including working in a wet lab (darkroom).
Now……welcome Gelli printing, Watrcolor, Acrylics, Oils, Cold Wax Medium Remember that drawer?
Hello. . . Painting! It’s another dimension. It’s MESSY ! It’s MESSY ! - Embrace the process.
It’s like life.
As you can see, the original print on the right above is the original print made on a 8x8 sheet of paper. I liked it. I studied it.
But, I didn’t like where the yellow ink didn’t take. And the bottom right corner where the flaw in the gelli plate didn’t keep that ink.
I had a strip of red paper I want to inlay in the division between the yellow and green bottom. Wondering how it would look I decided to scan the original print on my scanner and then work on a digital file. I filled in those places and made a note card. Original, to a mini fine art print and a note card.
A new journey into the future.
