Auburn Art Studio Tour 2012

So, yes, I am home now and busier than ever.  I worked on a project the last two days for an artist I met.  She wanted images taken of her patch quilt artwork so that she could make the scenes into cards.  It wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be, but I got it done.  It took several shooting sessions to get the colors right.  I could tell by talking to her that she was looking for someone who could do the job precisely, which always puts the pressure on.  Then I put both large images and the small card images that now had her signature inserted at the bottom, on a CD.

I will be starting to work on gathering the framed images, matted images, and cards for the Auburn Art Studio Tour that is happening in November.  I know it seems far away, but we start hanging in early October.  I will most likely need to cut mats and print out more new images.  I'm thinking of removing some of framed images so I can have the frames available if a buyer in interested in purchasing the frame too.  The frames I'm referring to are metal anodized - so easy to work with and I don't have to worry about putting on the acid-free paper backing.

I just went and checked my stock on hand and I have a good 20 prints, mostly color.  I do have mat board to cut more mats.  Now I just need to get started.  I really want to get started on that new darkroom process (chromoskedasic sabatier), but first things first!

  1. Your post is great to read. I was wondering why we use a print?

  2. I see you are "...a visual artist and web blog designer." That's an open question as it can be construed in many different ways. Are you referring to why we 'print' v. display of digital images say on a website? I show in galleries mainly. But maybe you can expand on your question for me.
