STOP WAITING

a random scribble is all i have for tonight! i think i will make this into a papercut.

Summer List: NUMBER ONE

NUMBER ONE: learn to screenprint


......check!

It is much more fun than I thought it would be, too! I made five prints on regular paper, and then made a few on some of my marbled papers. Later tonight I think I will print one onto a t-shirt I have and then embroider on top. Summer is fun, I like being able to teach and test myself with new projects and processes.

Paper Marbling!

The last week of class this semester consisted of paper marbling, and I would be lying if I said it wasn't the most fun I've had in all my life. I took a lot of videos of my professor (also one of my favorite people/artists), which I will need to post later because I already used Photoshop today (I feel like this is the type of activity that is killing my brain slowly), so check back later if you're into that. For now, here are some of the papers I made.



I feel that this one is what the pranksters felt like.





I tried to make some that were traditional, but I couldn't help but make the rest look completely insane! I was having too much fun.



The stone pattern was clearly my favorite.



I realized after making the above not to rinse the paper too close to the spray hose in the sink, IT MAKES ALL THE COLORS GO AWAY. Remember that.





My favorite colors were the ones my teacher mixed for us, rightly named "hokie" colors, they made all the previously existing colors split and do other crazy things.

CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW HAPPY I AM RIGHT NOW?

If only it was full length...

Underwears

I made this pop-up underwear birthday card for my sister, sorry for the terrible pictures. I really need to be better!

Three Color Lithograph

This is a three-color lithograph I made for one of my final projects for printmaking. The size of the paper is 7"x 11", but the image is about 5.5"x 8". It's an edition of 10, and I have 8 left for sale. Let me know if you want one!

"Insecurities"

Solar Plate Workshop

A few weeks ago Sheila Goloborotko came and did a workshop at my school, this was the solar plate I did (although I will admit that I flipped it horizontally in Photoshop since it got exposed wrong). Here's an image of the plate and the print. It was printed intaglio.

NCUR 2012

I was accepted into the NCUR exhibition, which was the past few weeks. I had to present as well--I'm glad that is over! Here are a few photos of my images from the exhibition. (They are monoprints with ink and colored pencil.)

alternative photography projects from this semester

This semester has been insane and I haven't really had a chance to post anything that I've made. These are really terrible photos of projects I have made for my exploratory alternative photography class but they will have to do for now! This summer I will take better ones.


mural darkroom print with charcoal, colored pencil, and embroidery.


van dyke prints with wax and embroidery.


the back of an accordion book: acetone transfers with embroidery, wax, and metal hinges.


van dyke and cyanotype prints toned with several substance and mixed media.
