FINALLY!!!

It seems like it has been forever since I had any art time or even time to read other blogs!!  We've been in the new house for about a month now, and as you can imagine, it has been one thing after another. We've had 3 floods (all non related and in different parts of the house), issues with contractors, and I was almost flattened when a shelf of books in my new studio fell on me...(not just A shelf, but an entire section of shelves....)

My awesome new studio is still a ways from being complete, but about 75% of the stuff is in, the tables are set up and it is functional! On Tuesday, i locked myself away and worked on Michelle Ward's latest street team challenge--mono printing

Here is a group shot of my finished pages:

My favorites from the group--this one was a first pull after spraying the paint/glass with water:

I plan to go back over this one with a black marker to sketch in the details of the flowers and leaves--or maybe zentangle them!

                                      

this was a first pull of one mono-print, with a second pull of another manon-print layered over.

                                         

Another layered print--first layer was a second pull, and for the second layer, i layed the tyvek shaped that were thick with paint on the glass to pull a print of just them.

                                         

For this one, after pulling a second print, i painted flowers on the glass with black paint, sprayed it with water and pulled that as a print.

Definately a great technique with lots of possibilities! I'm curious to try it on fabric---Thanks for the inspiration, Michelle!
