When the trees meet the sky.

Printmaking continued.

These are examples of Intaglio printing, using engraving marks to dig into plexiglass. Ink is then rubbed and brushed into the marks, and pressed into soaked paper so the fibers lift the ink out of the marks. A very much involved process, but extremely rewarding!

Printmaking, a passion

Printmaking became a passion of mine. Recently, so recently in fact that I won't even consider myself a print-maker, oh but how I wish I were!

Here are some of the works that I did this past fall. Anyone know of any classes offered on the subject? I would love to learn learn learn. I also want to build my own studio. That is a far off dream, but a dream nonetheless.

Photography Work with Redeem&Record

In the fall, I had the pleasure of photographing a friend who set out to create a podcast and blog featuring interviews with songwriters at Gordon College.

He successfully did both, with now more than ten interviews and live recordings, Tony Papia has provided a space for student musicians to talk about and play their music.

It has created a buzz around campus, allowing the student body to see who is writing and seeking music out.

As a student myself, the music scene is one that has been covered and thought to be dead, but many thanks to the writers coming out hiding with the help of Tony and Redeem. I have heard such a cropping of talented kids and hope to keep listening to them!

He chose a lovely image of him playing the guitar.
