High Hand Gallery

Good news!  The company down in Los Angeles will be sending me the foam gasket I need for the Beseler enlarger.  Finally, an answer to the problem.  This better be it, I don't need to buy a new enlarger!  Hopefully I'll receive it by the end of the week and I can get started on some darkroom processing!  I'm anxious to get back in there!!

Worked this weekend at High Hand Gallery and did meet numerous folks who really 'loved' my images.  A woman purchased one of my unframed photo transfers - Monet's Jardin.  So that was pretty encouraging.  Things are starting to pick up in the gallery, so that's a good sign.

This morning I was off to another artist's home to take photos of her clay pieces of art.  Taking photos of artwork is not an easy thing to do.  After about a half hour, we got good lighting to get some good takes.  Now I just have to upload them, work on them, resize them, and put them on CD for her.

Last night I framed the final poster for the High Hand Gallery's 5th Annual Artful Bra Show!  That was not easy, as I cut a double mat for it and almost ruined it!  But I saved it.  It looks pretty nice I must say.  The next project I need to tackle is getting ready for Saturday's Artfest at High Hand Fruitshed.  I think we will have about 30+ artists on hand, demonstrating their artwork.  Since I can't take my PC or my darkroom over there, I will be demonstrating matting and framing and handing out a list of reference materials.  I'll also have some of my works on display for sale.
