Don't Count Your Chickens

This is an etching I started last week, it was going to be used with another plate for a two-color print but things didn't work out. I re-created this image again with 2 other plates for the color prints and I'm going to finish etching this one and maybe watercolor some of the prints I pull. The image is more or less inspired by the thought of pregnancy and miscarriages. I started with the idiom but it turned into something more personal. Although, not counting your chickens before they hatch is an idea I think just about all of us can relate too.

Once in a Blue Moon (with detail shot)

Here's the print I did for the exchange-folio at the SGCI conference. I wonder who got them. I'm going to make some changes to the plate or maybe make a second plate to use with this to pull another edition for my independent study print class.

Once in a Blue Moon

Here's a pic of the print I've been working on for the print exchange for the SGCI conference in New Orleans

just me having some fun in the printmaking lab. here's a sneaky peak of my latest print. I'll put up some better pictures of it soon!

Die Eule

Young Cardinal

This little gem is one of my 2x2" prints. I did some chine-collé on it to get the red on the cardinal. I'm planning to do that for the entire edition which will probably be about 25 prints.

Moons Over My Hammy

A working proof of a new mini print I started today

Xolotl's Escape

This is a mini print I did for the 8th Biennial International

Miniature Print Exhibition at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Connecticut (and it made it in!)

the image is about 2x2 inches

new print I started today, so happy with how it's coming out so far

scan of a recent proof of my bird etching. lots of aquatint/burnishing done to it

here is a scan of a proof that I watercolored on top of. I really like the way printmaking paper takes to watercolors. I will definitely be experimenting more with this technique in the future with the other proofs I have pulled.

This might end up being a wedding gift for my Grandmother..not sure yet. If not I'll probably put it up on etsy if anyone would be interested in owning it or any like this! (let me know!)

This is a scan of the first proof of my new etching print I'm working on.
