Digital Printing Alternative Surfaces

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.  Diane Sandlin who was my "angel" in the classroom and everything else.  Then Leslie Tucker Jennison who is in the 8 That Create 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 Mary Ruth Smith.  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.

Diane and Leslie beat me to any blogging on the subject and I wanted you all to see their posts.  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!!!

So today along with the other links I will show you how to access one of my new domains.

Digital Alternative Surfaces.  I am building content in a few new places which will keep me hopping I the blog category and keep me creating and pushing the digital surface.  This is going to be a great year for creativity, but aren't they all? 

Working Through Monday

Hard to believe I haven't posted in a month.  Been really busy.  One major event was the jurying of the Texas Federation of Fiber Arts Show- Fiberwerkes 2012.  The show will be at the Hill Country Arts Foundation from February 4-25, 2012. A the conference, I will be teaching a digital printing workshop February 24-26 and will be giving the keynote at the conference dinner.  The workshop is full with a waiting list, but there are spaces in some of the one day workshops with other instructors.  If you will be in Ingram Texas at the end of February, you may want to check out what is happening at Fiberwerkes 2012 Conference.

Now as I work on my workshop of the month for KathyAnne Art members for my December news, I have 3 ideas I am considering for the workshops.  This December I will be posting 2 workshops free to members.  One of those will also be free to everyone on my enews list for the month of December whether they are members or not.  This way anyone who want to try one of my mini workshops will get a chance for free.  I will put a coupon code in my news for everyone who is on my email list to download the workshop for free.  Still not sure what it will entail, but my enews will be out in a couple weeks.  Be sure you are on my email list to be able to receive the coupon for the free workshop.

So the rest of my time has been taken up in developing some new work, learning to draw, learning Corel Painter 12 and other fun stuff.  And the biggest thing-working on my keynote.  It is pretty much laid out, but now it is down to research and writing.  Also I promised myself I would take a month off between my workshops do my website stuff and play with art so that's what I am about at the present time.

A couple of ongoing pics.  We'll see what happens with all of this-first the metal prints have to be varnished.
