Today I doodled and started a new anime series in japanese. I love how sophie couldnt careless what language is going on...she just watches. Its fun to draw and pay attention to subtitles and have children crawling on you....fun I tell you...FUN!
Open faced BLT with basil from the garden.
The heirloom tomatoes I purchased because mine are still relatively small and still flowering.
Every year we grow a tomato garden usually from seed but this year there was no time so I purchased some starts from a shop on etsy called horticopia.
We usually start our herbs from seed too but not this year...oh well. You can actually see the biodegradable pot I didnt bury deep enough.
Yummy basil.
My husband asked me to photograph some little plants we started from cuttings. Arent they cute? Right to left sedum, variegated jade,regular jade and pinetrees.
So the majority of things I make are cards....
Earlier in the week I was printing up an order.
That orange is pretty vibrant.
So remember swing by the renegade fair and see me.
I will have other things like screened printed tea towels and bags. I also will have cahiers and art prints. If I have time there might be some dyed wood necklaces with black illustrations.Oh yes there will be plantable bouquet arrangements with succulents and a couple planted succulent boxed arrangements. Oh and there will be snacks...most definitely.
I used water based ink.....aaarrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh F@#$! Why is that highlighted? Anyhow I hand tinted him with watercolor pencil just for the sake of taking him to the end. HMMMMmmm.....water based ink a lovely thing but it kept drying( i spritzed the ink and the paper this was the best one of two prints) up I know one can put extender in it but then the ink is done and if I can save some ink I do. I am a cheap ass you know. Art supplies are expensive. So I patiently await my daniel smith block printing oil ink. Oil bases inks take seven days to dry. I also had lots of splotches because he wasnt mounted but I got too excited to print and then cried when everything went awry. So this week he is being glued to a board and I bought huge ass pavers for my press. screw doing it with a baren.
saw this on my friends tumblr and put it on mine. no you cant see my tumblr because then you would know how depraved i really am....
This man is so cool. My husband and I have been watching and reading about him for years. He was on cnn recently concerning Fukushima. I think we need to get out our NO NUKES signs again if you ever put them away. Click here if you didnt see the interview.
