Gelatin Printing

Gelatin printing was the most fun I have had in a long time! I spent the day with my friend Lucy Senstad and her sister Joannie. Lucy showed us how to gelatin print. I have included a video from YouTube below if you want to see the process, there are many more videos available too, so have a look and then give this a try . . . I loved it!!!

Artist Studio Tour - Elk River Minnesota

Today my friends and neighbors had open houses at their art studios.

I thought you might be inspired by their work spaces.

Here is the pottery studio of Chad Briggs and his wife Terry (a painter).

Then it's just a short walk to Sue Seegers Studio.

Sue's a metal scupltor and jewelry maker!

 

And I am lucky enough to work just down the

street from these three amazing artists!

Surround yourself with creative people they will rub off on you.

Now, back to work for me . . .

(Let me know if you enjoy seeing this sort of post.)
