Soft Book

Assembled book of special baby's favorite things using ink jet photo process on cotton, sewing onto squares, stuffing with light batting, and binding together at "spine." Here are a few of the pages.

Photo Print on Silk 2d3d

Made photo transfer of building from country of which one of my friends is enthralled. A little lumpy in the photo, but ideas for more buildings going 2d3d, likely of the iconic variety.

Stuffty...last one for awhile

Here is stuffty with image from drawing I made at age 5. Yes, it has been noted that my drawing style has not changed much. Xerox transfer (gum arabic/engraving ink) on silk.

Monotype on Paper

Did a roll-up of colors with brayer, placed my image on top, put the paper on, and ran through the press. (Yes, that first pic is crooked in the photo..it is not mounted yet, and not so cock-eyed on the paper! We will see if it bugs me enough to re-photograph. Probably, though I put things away, so not right away. Not a poet, and I know it.)

Stuffties

Created some more images on silk using xerox transfer method (gum arabic, printer's ink), and added to the menagerie. The trees are from 50 year old sketches my Dad made, the cave paintings from Lascaux, the wooden icon is shown with it's silk transfer interpretation, again the "real thing" is better, but, experimenting with different types of entities to make these 2d3ds.

Photo Print on Cotton

Had some pictures of beautiful (and delicious!) desserts my dear friend Naomi makes, and decided to print for use on hot pads. Treated smooth fine weave cotton fabric with "bubble jet set," ironed to freezer paper, printed image from ink jet printer, hand washed with "bubble jet rinse," and hoping for the best in terms of durability.

Then printed another of Naomi's creations, a rose from her garden:



The "real things" still beat hands down, but, the printed images serve as reminders.

Lascaux Cave Drawing on Silk

Took a real cave drawing from Lascaux, used xerox transfer method (gum arabic, engraving ink) to print on silk, fashioned into this form.
