Please remember when I don't post here that I have an entire new thing going on at my <a href="http://digitalalternativesurfaces.com/">Digital Alternative Surfaces</a> sites. My plan is to build up videos and all sorts of workshops that you can take online. There will be a new store for supplies where I will have printing plates, fabrics and all sorts of goodies that I come up with from time to time.<br />
<br />
Starting in June 2013 my studio will be open for groups or individuals to come for workshops. Students will learn both Photoshop techniques and be able to print on my art printers, so they will be completely trained on all the phases of digital printing. My new Smart TV makes it possible to enrich students with visuals to enhance their learning. More about this soon.<br />
<br />
Any of you in the St. Louis area will be able to take my Digital Printing Alternative Surfaces workshop this August 10-12, 2013 at <a href="http://www.craftalliance.org/">Craft Alliance.</a> This will be a basic three day workshop for you to learn how to print alternative surfaces. More details on enrolling for the workshop will be available when the Craft Alliance brochure comes out in April.<br />

<br />
<br />
For 2014 my workshop schedule will take me back to <a href="http://www.artworkshops.com/">New York to Hudson River Valley Workshops</a> in April of 2014. April 28 to May 2, 2014. This time we will go forward in a workshop that is entitled <b>"Digital Printing Alternative Surface Unleashed"</b>. We will get totally creative with digital printing.<br />
<br />
This is the part I love. Now that my book will be finished in the next couple of months my workshops will be going to the next level. What we do with the prints, getting students up to speed on how to use their printers, getting their digital prints on alternative surfaces integrated in the art they want to create. It's going to be a wonderful 5 days. Before the workshop I will consult with each student so they can bring supplies tailored to their process and where they want to go in digital printing. Very exciting!!!!<br />
<br />
Don't forget I will be at the SDA Conference in San Antonio and the workshop <i><a href="http://www.surfacedesign.org/content/in%E2%80%A2ter%E2%80%A2face">"Digital Alternative —From Flat to Dimensional"</a></i> will be the first of it's kind for me and will push the digital printed surface in new directions. In this five day workshop each student will be encourage to gain competence in digital printing on alternative surfaces. Along with taking their work to a new level in printing and assembling.<br />
<br />
Looks like my writing for my book <i>"Digital Printing Alternative Surfaces: the definitive source"</i> will be finished this week. Then we have to get it ready for the first test print so my team and I can actually see the book in our hands. Five of us are going to read and edit for changes or corrections that need to be addressed. When that is done we will publish. Won't I love that!!!!<br />

My team and I are going to be doing a small test book of a couple chapters, so I am busily finishing several parts of chapters for us to use. Today I am working on pairing images to surfaces for the second section of the Recycled Chapter. This section of the chapter is about melting plastics and this afternoon I will be precoating the surfaces and sizing images for printing tomorrow. </div>
<div>

<div>
I won't be sharing any of the pictures from the book here - you'll have to wait for a copy when my book comes out in the spring of 2013. </div>

Aside from my book I've been a bit busy lately in a good way. An article was due for both Maggie Grey's <a href="http://www.workshopontheweb.com/">Workshop on the Web</a> (December issue) and also <a href="http://www.digitalartcreation.com/">Digital Art Creation Magazine</a>. The DAC magazine is free to read on the web and is also available on the iPad. iPad versions are free for the next one at least and then you have to purchase it to read it on your iPad. The iPad version will have videos. The issue coming out soon I wrote on digital printing on silk and the next one is about <a href="http://www.digitalalternativesurfaces.com/?p=393">digital printing recycled plastics</a>.<br />
<br />
Spent some time in Taos and did a keynote and one day workshop for SLMM-the Society of Layerists in Mixed Media. Pretty long drive from here, but I got to see some of the balloons from the annual Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta while passing through Albuquerque. Very nice. No pictures though, just looking.<br />
<br />
During my drive to and from Taos I listened to the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451648537?ref%5F=sr%5F1%5F1&qid=1350683686&sr=8-1&keywords=steve%20jobs%20by%20walter%20isaacson">Steve Jobs biography</a> by Walter Isaacson. <br />
I put off reading it for a long time since I heard rumblings of how uncool Steve was. He is one of my heroes, so I didn't want to get up close and personal with his dark side. It was a pleasant surprise when I looked at his quirks in another way and was very inspired with how he changed the world. I loved the book and am reading the actual book now. He is still one of my heroes. He was truly one of a kind.<br />

So now we come to what I have been doing besides traveling and working on my book for the past month. I have been putting a type of kit together combining inkAID precoats, fabric that includes an instructional video. There are 9 fabrics and you can read about them on my <a href="http://studio.digitalalternativesurfaces.com/?p=195">Digital Alternative Studio</a> website.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I have been receiving a lot of emails recently about what printers I suggest. My favorite has always been Epson's and I have 7 Epson's in my studio. Why so many? Because I use them in different ways</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Well of course I have my largest and favorite is the Epson 7890. Beautiful machine and once you figure out the quirks with printing alternative surfaces it is smooth sailing, a pleasure to watch as it prints and even better are the results. This printer prints 24" wide and is around 225 pounds on the palette when it is delivered, so this or the larger printers take some room and you will need help setting them up. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">The 7890 will print a paper thickness of 1.5mm. Epson Ultra Chrome K3 ink with Vivid Magenta pigment ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjky9_eLpAc-6ptrsSvt8BmQjzXB3Cfki7FKKeJzk0QBznTbYwUwnsv5emhlvPtm-4qy0ZEUTtPLznmXb0SqEMCCbrfv5Z5r-rlKtnTh_yg-b3SROfNuHVpzfHawTyAMTHPDbuA6OR4NV-l/s1600/epson+7890+printing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjky9_eLpAc-6ptrsSvt8BmQjzXB3Cfki7FKKeJzk0QBznTbYwUwnsv5emhlvPtm-4qy0ZEUTtPLznmXb0SqEMCCbrfv5Z5r-rlKtnTh_yg-b3SROfNuHVpzfHawTyAMTHPDbuA6OR4NV-l/s320/epson+7890+printing.jpg" height="288" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next one down from that is my Epson R3000 (printing beverage cans in the photo). This is a wonderful art printer work horse. If I don't need the wider width of the 7890 this is my next go to printer. Again this is a beautiful machine and has never given me any problems. It is also the printer I ship to workshops and it has survived students from all over the place and printed constantly for hours at a time in the classroom. I print all my beverage cans on this one and there is no noise that could be scary. Some of the reason I can print beverage cans is the paper thickness. This printer will print a paper thickness of 1.3mm thick around poster board thick. I always measure my paper thickness before printing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This printer uses Epson UltraChrome K3 with Vivid Magenta- pigment ink. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Epson R3000 is my choice for entry level art printer. They have sales on this and the other wide format printers from time to time that could save you some money.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxN13wX97rlCM483_otF4XnCy7q91AYjr_o5z1tBehHYEFKHtWYGJ7NRmHz4l3HBgmkhJGh1TgCnVDKYjy7G-RIUmluux1OvM5cIC3qM17XhWK1SOZqCKTGrJubNrHX4K5xMv6D3yoC__/s1600/Epson+R3000-2_3235+150.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxN13wX97rlCM483_otF4XnCy7q91AYjr_o5z1tBehHYEFKHtWYGJ7NRmHz4l3HBgmkhJGh1TgCnVDKYjy7G-RIUmluux1OvM5cIC3qM17XhWK1SOZqCKTGrJubNrHX4K5xMv6D3yoC__/s320/Epson+R3000-2_3235+150.jpg" height="320" width="305" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next printers currently on the market are in the stylus photo wide format printer category. I have own one of these printers and do not recommend it at all!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Epson R2880 would be my choice after the R3000. It was the printer of choice before the R3000 came out. It has the same inks that the R3000 has and will print a paper thickness of 1.33mm just like the R3000. The 2880 will take roll paper and print the same as the R3000 13" x 44". So if you want to save some money it would be the one to get. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrUZT5_BEcL_P7vQUV-YzRvnYgPrw3cVUXh3dEKB11Jp-yhBdrUp-jR1-Dp01uuK77XVvz385I0BXQsPrmMeQlvOQzNfv8tjn3tAADZcBDl1zQQdNEG-1_skbHpog9SEnIFtlnKsdbrDOH/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-09-05+at+3.33.39+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrUZT5_BEcL_P7vQUV-YzRvnYgPrw3cVUXh3dEKB11Jp-yhBdrUp-jR1-Dp01uuK77XVvz385I0BXQsPrmMeQlvOQzNfv8tjn3tAADZcBDl1zQQdNEG-1_skbHpog9SEnIFtlnKsdbrDOH/s320/Screen+Shot+2012-09-05+at+3.33.39+PM.png" height="245" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next is the R2000- the ink is different then the other 2 R Epson printers. It is Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss 2 pigment ink. Again the paper thickness is 1.33mm I have never printed with the R2880, but I own an R2000. From my personal point of view- skip the R2000 printer. I have clients and friends with the R2880 and they have never complained to me about the printer. I think the differences would be with the feel for the printer when you use it. If you are looking for this class of printer that will print 13" wide and 44" long my best is the R3000. The R2880 is a bit less money.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both the R3000 and the R2000 are wireless and I love that feature on my 3000. One of the nice things about the 2000 over the 3000 is the change from matte black to photo black. In the 3000 to switch from glossy to matte of vice versa, you have to purge the other black ink from the lines. it takes ink and time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the 2000 both black inks are ready to use. For paper thickness reasons and the way the front feed is undependable in the R2000 makes it the one printer I DO NOT advise artists to buy. I would rather stick to black matte ink and never purge my tanks to do the switch then use the R2000 every day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If it were my choice I would choose between the R3000, R2880 and the R2000 I would take either the 3000 or the R2880. Like I said I do know artists that own the R2880 and really like the printer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The R2000 will not even print a simple thin cheesecloth skin from the top feed. It scrapes the entire time it is printing. I does not have a platen gap, so you can't change the distance of the print heads from the surface. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have not used any of the printers in the Epson Artisan series. They use dye inks. Dye inks tend to fade. Pigment inks stand up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you want to do any type of quality printing on alternative surfaces. Your best bet is to do the entry level of the R3000.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can always contact me about printers, but right now this is pretty much what I would tell you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All except that if you notice these are all direct pass through printers. You will definitely need that to print alternative surfaces. And don't forget, whatever printer you buy you will be able to learn how to manipulate it for your purposes.</div>

I collect leaves, pods, flowers, grasses and look closely at their structure and shape. In particular, I like to collect these natural objects at the end of summer when they have begun to wither and fragment. Enlarging them in my work process allows me to see them as sculptural objects. I look at the play of light upon surfaces and shaping the pieces introduces a new element-light and shadow interacting with the undulating surfaces."</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the first week of July this year <a href="http://www.barbaraschneider-artist.com/artist.asp?ArtistID=33119&AKey=HK234MVA">Barbara Schneider</a> spent a week in my workshop in Greenville New York at <a href="http://www.artworkshops.com/">Hudson River Valley Art/Fiber Workshops</a>. It was an incredible group of woman who gathered to learn and experiment with digital printing alternative surfaces. The artist's present were like sponges with the plethora of material thrown at them and the results were many awesome alternative prints. Barbara was no exception as we printed one of her leaf images on several substrates. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One of the things I loved was the time we had (the workshop was 5 days) as I was able to spend a nice bit of time with everyone in the workshop while their images printed which included time with Barbara, her surfaces and images. When you start to experiment with alternative surfaces a great place to start is trying the same image on the various substrates. When you switch images you don't really get an overall view of what can happen in printing the variables. Above you can see Barbara's image on many substrates. Of course it is always hard to see in pictures, but the textures and impact of the image can still be seen. Barbara made some notes about precoats and surfaces as she worked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(<i>If you click on the images you will be able to see more detail in the print) </i></span><br />

I know when I want to capture a certain image as I am out and about, my iPhone is usually there and I can take the shot. There are many apps for photography on your iPhone and Adobe even has a Photoshop Touch app now that is truly excellent to manipulate photos right on your iPhone or iPad. Last month on my KathyAnne Art site I posted a workshop on <a href="http://www.insidekathyanneart.blogspot.com/2012/06/simple-techniques-for-blending-images.html">Blending Images using the Photoshop Touch</a> app for the iPad. <br />
<br />
So I ask myself why not videos on my iPhone? In my classroom in Texas in February I tried an experiment had some of the students shoot video from my iPhone, so I could edit them and post them for the classes private viewing. This enabled me to be able to leave the participants with more information then would have been available in class handouts. In another classroom situation the videos did not turn out as well, but it taught me a lot about how to go about it. <br />

<br />
It was wonderful to be asked to participate in The Sketchbook Challenge book. Since my work starts with digital images, all the textures and elements in my Forest Book 2 piece featured in the book are digitals on some type of alternative surfaces. Elements is the chapter that my work is in.<br />

The page on the right is digitally needlepoint canvas with digital prints on lutradur heat distressed and attached to the canvas. The lutradur has been torn and layered with wire and beads and a border of beads runs around the lutradur composition. On the left is a mixture of textured elements and a digital print on tyvek. The tyvek is cut into small pieces and then melted to stack with wire and twigs.<br />

I learned to crochet when I was 7 and made a ripple afghan that was anything but exact in the ripple department. It was pretty pitiful, but it was so much fun I didn't worry if the ripples were a mess. Much later in the 70's crochet was popular so there were always plenty of patterns around for me to make endless pieces in crochet. Now I tend to leave patterns behind and just figure it out and crochet when the inspiration hits.<br />
<br />
Today I still always have a crochet project going and when it comes to assembling my beverage can digital prints, I crochet pieces together. Yesterday Kathryn who blogs (on her website) <a href="http://www.crochetconcupiscence.com/">Crochet Concupiscence</a> sent me an email to tell my a piece of my crochet work was highlighted on her blog <a href="http://www.crochetconcupiscence.com/2012/06/20-things-a-crocheter-can-do-with-paper/">"20 Creative Things a Crocheter Can Do With Paper"</a> You can see my piece and others in her post. <br />
<br />
This got me to thinking how much crochet I have been doing in the last couple of weeks with my beverage cans so I thought I would share a bunch of pieces front and back and then show you how I start these pieces. They are labor intensive and a bit wearing on your hands, but rewarding. These pieces are small, nothing larger then 12" x 12".<br />

The general plan with these pieces are to string the can pieces and crochet together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of the pieces are then secured to a piece of hardware cloth so they can be hung.</div>

After the cans are printed and varnished and ready to go I cut them in the size pieces for the project - punch holes and then string them onto colored hemp.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I string the cans I don't put tons on. As I want to add can pieces I just cut the hemp, add pieces then tie the hemp back to the piece and crochet. So as you see in the pic above I chain stitched and then I crochet the pieces into the crochet chain.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Every other row I crochet without can pieces. Otherwise it is totally unruly and there is no room for the cans. As it is I pack them in.</div>

There is some exciting news since there will be a blog hop among the artists (this includes me) who have work in Sue's book. The blog hop celebration starts June 25th and ends July 10th. There are $1200 worth of prizes that will be given away from the artists participating. Winners will be drawn randomly from comments on the posts during the <a href="http://suebleiweiss.com/blog/2012/06/04/help-me-celebrate-the-release-of-my-book/">blog hop</a>. Each artist will chose people from their comments for the prizes they will give away. For more information see Sue's <a href="http://suebleiweiss.com/blog/2012/06/04/help-me-celebrate-the-release-of-my-book/">blog post today</a>.<br />
<br />
My piece is of course composed of many digital prints and then assembled on 6 pages 10" x 12" to complete the Forest Book. Each page is a separate creation containing digital prints on surfaces such as lutradur, metal printers plates, watercolor paper, beverage cans and more. Encaustic and crochet is used as well as other techniques in the assemblages of the pages. More to come as we gear up for the blog hop.<br />
<br />
Oh and before I forget I will be giving away a years membership to <a href="http://www.kathyanneart.com/">KathyAnne Art</a>, my member website. The value of this is $35.00, but the beauty of it is the over 700 royalty free images and the monthly workshops that currently total over 40 with new ones every month. Remember to visit here on June 27th and comment on my post to get your chance to win. The winner will be drawn from the comments on the blog post from the blog hop. <br />
<br />
Also I will have a free coupon code for the workshop on my <a href="http://www.kathyanneart.com/">KathyAnne Art</a> site that was created based on my studio journal seen in the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Sketchbook-Challenge-Techniques-Inspiration/dp/0307796558/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338844123&sr=8-1">Sketchbook Challenge</a> book. Anyone who reads my blog that day will be able to find that coupon code from a url I will post and then download and enjoy their free workshop. You can access the workshop description for "Studio Journals Mini Workshop" on my <a href="http://insidekathyanneart.blogspot.com/search?q=sketchbook+challenge">Inside KathyAnne Art Blog.</a><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also have another give away- Making Handmade Books: 100+ Bindings, Structures & Forms by Alisa Golden Total retail value $19.95! </span><br />

They only opened months ago and since I love hot yoga and could take classes only when I traveled- I was really excited to see they were here. So I started with 2 days a week, went to 3 and now a couple weeks ago added Mondays!!! I am back in my studio now and ready to start my day and although I worked my butt off for a bit earlier- I am energized and flowing creative energy. <br />
<br />
On the agenda, more writing- I have started my book on digitally printing alternative surfaces. For today I will finish the chapter on my 6 printers so readers can see just how I use all my printing tools. This book will be crammed full of all sorts of information on my digital printing process. I will do complete how to's on surfaces I have been creating and sharing and some new. There will be information on printing with all 6 of my printers so surfaces will be designed for non-art printers also. Coming up when I have finalized my table of contents I will post it.<br />

This shows the back of the above print on a cheesecloth skin. The yellow tone of the dyed cheesecloth is visible as the base of the print.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13100069728634068100noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737155461522006999.post-23641161572254287012012-04-25T11:42:00.001-07:002012-06-27T07:54:01.962-07:00JuliAnne Kaplan- Photographer<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I’d like to introduce a professional photographer out of San Rafael California, <a href="http://www.juliannekaplan.com/JuliAnne_Kaplan_Photography/About_the_Artist.html">JuliAnne Kaplan</a>. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">About her work JuliAnne says <i>"</i></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i>My work is typically abstract and minimalist using natural lighting to highlight color and texture. </i></span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">JuliAnne contacted me at the end of 2010 to make plans for a one on one workshop in my studio in February 2011. I had seen some of JuliAnne’s photography by visiting her website and was drawn to her interesting photographic world. Her photographs lend themselves to all sorts of alternative surfaces. What I didn’t know about JuliAnne was that she was a bit conservative in many ways and somewhat timid. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">What I mean by this is that JuliAnne likes to structure her world a bit and my out of the box approach was an entirely new way for her to think.</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Well think she did and in returning home she was so excited about what she had learned she immediately purchased a new Epson 7890. JuliAnne also got many of the supplies together she would need to embark on this new endeavor of digital printing alternative surfaces. Now we need to dial it forward a year to 2012 and the ink still hadn’t been removed from the plastic packages and her printer was (after it being in a box in the garage for awhile) just freshly put together and in plastic in the corner of her computer studio. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Luckily I was on my way to San Francisco to participate in a workshop and JuliAnne was in the need of getting her studio put together in such a way as she could actually print. It was like a match made in heaven since I was available to spend some time setting up her printers and getting everything set so she could print alternative surfaces. </span></span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Don't you just love the internet? I recently returned from teaching a 3 day workshop for the Texas Federation of Fiber Artists. I was also the juror of their show "Fiberwerkes 2012 and I gave the keynote at the dinner "Untwine Your Mind: Beyond Fiber". It was a brilliant week and I was surrounded by all sorts of wonderful people. It was a great time and recently a couple people blogged on the event. <a href="http://dianesandlinstudios.com/blog/?p=331">Diane Sandlin</a> who was my "angel" in the classroom and everything else. Then <a href="http://leslietuckerjenison.blogspot.com/2012/02/texas-federation-of-fiber-artists.html">Leslie Tucker Jennison</a> who is in the <a href="http://8thatcreate.com/8_that_create_artists.html">8 That Create</a> group I am in. It was great to meet Leslie for the first time. When you visit the link that is attached to Leslie's name, go back and look at this link also- it is about the workshop Leslie too from <a href="http://leslietuckerjenison.blogspot.com/2012/03/mary-ruth-smith-workshop.html">Mary Ruth Smith.</a> Mary Ruth was one of the instructors at the conference. She was also one of the artist's I juried into the show and her work is just awesome.</span></span></div>

I know for myself that every time I teach a new group or meet other artists interested in digital alternative surfaces I get all sorts of ideas on pushing this process. So many ideas came to me when working on my keynote and researching the artists for my keynote. I continue to grow, get tons of new ideas and spark my creativity!!!</span></span></div>

I know what I want to plug in the layers, but there is a ton of work left. Since I am leaving for Texas to teach at the Texas Federation of Fiber Artists Conference I will have to let it sit till I get back. The layers consist of a digital print on wire mesh, digital print on beverage cans and there will be slivers of beverage cans that have digital prints in between. It will be very crushed up. As you can see the layers fall off of each other right now. I may be able to get a few pieces done just to see what it looks like, but there is tons to do before I leave and my keynote to finish today. Those pesky images need to be in place and work:)<br />

<br />
Going forward there are so many ways to push digital printing on alternative surfaces. This new workshop that will take place in my studio on June 16 and 17 this year will take ideas further while sticking safely inside the perimeters of current printers. Here is the information for this workshop.<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">In order for a student to participate in this workshop they must have digital alternative printing experience. A prerequisite such as my In Studio workshop on April 28 & 29, “Getting Started with Digital Printing Alternative Surfaces”. If you have not taken one of my digital printing classes before, you can take my online course “Getting Started with Digital Prints on Uncommon Surfaces” from the KathyAnne Art site to prepare. Contact me for details.</span></i></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">This workshop will focus on extreme surface preparation for alternative digital printing. We will be experimenting rather then creating finished prints, but you will print. Cutting edge surfaces will be the goal. We will also experiment with after print processes like encaustics. Sewing may be included, but I have several machines and plenty of supplies.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">We will use altered kozo bark and pound it into amate bark paper, dry, coat and print. Amate bark is an amazing surface for printing if constructed correctly. This technique may be used with other fiber. Surfaces will be built and techniques shown to make sure substrates will print safely. Feel free to bring some prints or pieces of prints to experiment with some of the after process ideas. Some of my prints will be available to use so that students will be able to experiment with some construction ideas.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">A laptop will be helpful. Images may need to be altered to fit the size and the look of your surface. I will have jump drives to move and load images for printing. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">This workshop will focus on printing alternative surfaces. Where digital printing is concerned my goal is to discover the possibilities between the surface created, the inkAID precoat used and the printer capabilities. One of the goals of this workshop will to be experiment and build surfaces that will take us into the basic new ideas of digital printing. We will use an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 for most of the printing. This will be hands on experience with Epson printers</span></span>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">We will also create a couple of surfaces to print on the Epson 1100 Workforce for hands on experience with a straight pass through non art printer.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">We will prepare and print metal mesh and beverage cans along with fabrics and surfaces we build from scratch. Students will get a well-rounded look at the digital printing process with alternative surfaces. At the same time preprinted surfaces will be available for students to use to get an idea of innovative ways to assemble digital prints and create studies for future projects. I have supplies and tools for us to experiment with assembling metals. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">A laptop will be helpful. Images may need to be altered to fit the size and the look of your surface. When building surfaces we may paint, dye or add elements that will easily be seen in the final print. In this case students will create an image file that reflects the look of the prepared surface. We can scan and/or photograph your surface to get a better idea of the effect the prepared surface will create. I will have jump drives to move and load images for printing. </span></span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">This morning I was on the way to my studio just wanting to create something. (Okay so it is only at the bottom of a set of stairs, but I knew something had to happen since I was feeling so inspired to go forward with an idea.) Right now I am in the midst of many amazing projects, writing an ebook, doing workshop prep, a keynote to polish, an enews to write and a workshop of the month to finish for KathyAnne Art members. Plus I am in the process of working on 2 art pieces simultaneously one for our 8 that create group and one for a refuse show. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So what am I doing today? Creating without regard to what deadlines are looming. That is one of the things I love the best. This is also a refuse piece that is calling me, so I can’t stop myself. Have to go with the flow on this one and what a great morning it was with most of the elements ready to construct this piece. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Here is the start of the set up and then I will have to see what other parts will be needed to assemble the piece. Only a few more elements to get this to go together. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first inspiration was to go for the bottle caps. Then I went for a rectangular box shape that is 6" x 6" x 10". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This rectangular hardware cloth piece was put together a few months ago and not used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ4B_WZBzIdVjALgnICmNrVBcJ3o5wGx4h8l6DlGsYiK5CVc2H6nIbwXwyYD0BBVqmbnpXaxa-X3JeLXNlI2APegt0AIHp3u2tH9HtxShOzAvwaR96sJavpBTHve9mhzQWJGzxjmSLPdLx/s1600/bottle+caps+5780.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ4B_WZBzIdVjALgnICmNrVBcJ3o5wGx4h8l6DlGsYiK5CVc2H6nIbwXwyYD0BBVqmbnpXaxa-X3JeLXNlI2APegt0AIHp3u2tH9HtxShOzAvwaR96sJavpBTHve9mhzQWJGzxjmSLPdLx/s400/bottle+caps+5780.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I knew I wanted to fill the bottle caps with layers of something and the total layer thing wasn't clear yet, so I started with beverage can prints.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tested some beverage cans to stamp into circles and found the size I wanted. I then proceeded to cut enough circles with a smaller size circle to layer over the large one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I know what's next- this print will be torn small to fold over the edges of the bottle tops with 2 layers of beverage can circles and maybe beads. I will try a study of a few caps later today or tomorrow.</span></div>

My workshop at <a href="http://www.artunraveled.com/ARTU12/AUindex.htm">Art Unraveled 2012</a> will allow all the students to get a jump start on digital alternative surfaces. Everyday I am creating ways to print on uncommon surfaces and now am continually designing surfaces that can be printed from a regular Epson Work Force printer. It is amazing what can be done on a regular straight pass through printer. <br />
<br />
I will include the workshop description here and links for access. There is a short video on youtube to see a little of what the surfaces look like. As with any of my workshop I strive to give the latest and greatest to my students and by August there will be tons more latest and greatest. In any event we will also play with my printed surfaces so students will get an idea of what they can do with printed surfaces. It will be informative, interesting and lots of fun, so if you are planning to be at Art Unraveled this year, check it out.<br />
<br />
Registration is open on January 17th, so get ready. We will be using my Epson small format printers and if we can print on them you can print on any pass through printer.<br />
<br />
<b>Explore Digital Printing</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2e2210;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>One of the amazing things about digital printing is the amount of surfaces you can use to print images for your artwork and journals. In this workshop students will print surfaces that have been prepared in advance. There will also be complete instructions to prepare surfaces for future printing. We will explore printing on fabric, lightweight metal, cheesecloth skin, tyvek and watercolor paper.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="color: #2e2210; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="color: #2e2210; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>During the workshop we will use 2 Epson small format printers as everyone prints the surfaces from their kits for hands on experience. Learning how to use these 4” x 6” format printers prepares students to use other direct pass through printers to print alternative surfaces in the future. This workshop is mostly a process workshop although participants will make a small project of a mini journal and/or artist trading cards with some of their printed images. Additional materials will be available for students to use to experience working with printed surfaces to create mini journals or artist trading cards.</i></span></div>
<div style="color: #2e2210; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="color: #2e2210; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Each student will receive a CD containing a pdf of information about the digital printing process on alternative surfaces including printer profiles, sizing and resizing images, supplier information, a description of precoats and step by step instruction for applying precoats. See my youtube channel for a look at the surfaces we will print- </i></span></div>

We will have our first internet show in March so stay tuned to see what happens then or better check our website for details sometime in the future. My piece is in the works and I will post "in the beginning pictures" in about 2 weeks. Check our blog from time to time and keep up with the happenings of "8 that create".<br />
