The image transfer workshop went off without any glitches today and fun was had by all! Some of the transparencies were slick on both sides, the Staples Transparencies (I didn't purchase these so have no idea which ones they were as I didn't see the orignal packaging). When the students printed onto the Staples transparencies it had a really runny effect and at first glance looked like a Polaroid Transfer. The image above was one printed off by a student, since she had the original photo (of an angel in one of the local cemetaries) she sent this sample home with me! Needless to say I'll be making a stop at Staples tomorrow to see about purchasing some of those transparencies as the achieved effect was really exciting.

What I'm Up Tooooo
I'll post pictures tomorrow! Today is my birthday and I've been busy working in the studio and getting ready for this coming weekend.
Wild Flowers
I've been spending a lot of time in the woods of late, getting inspiration, photo journaling the native plants throughout the seasons. When I'm not in the woods I've been in my garden, it's starting to warm up here and we are in the throes of creating a new compost pile - just in time for dye season!
You can see what I've been up to at my nature blog Thistle Quill, and over at my home blog Survival Kitchen and of course some artwork pieces on my art blog
