Book making with the Gocco printer
Today I worked on printing the last page of my limited edition book. Above is my attempt to use up the ink. I made wrapping paper. You can see it sitting on top of the Gocco printer.
This is the last image for my pages. The original was a linoleum plate I cut while teaching at Dunn School. I printed it on a page from a math book (the symbols in the upper left), and took that print and reduced it to make the plate for the Gocco printer. Now all I have to do is decide on a design for the cover, print that, and put the book together. I will use a coptic stitch if i can remember how to do that special binding. I have a book to remind me.

Felting at the Art clinic
This is what Ruth and I did today. We went to a class at the Art Clinic and learned to make this beautiful scarf using Pre-felts. Barbara Carr was the teacher. Ruth was the designer and brought me along as her assistant. Felting does take a bit of muscle and really gives a good upper arm workout. I highly recommend it!!!
Theresa is a fabulous designer. Here she is just starting. Go to www.artclinic.blogspot.com to see a more completed design.
(Above) this is Jennifer Moreno's piece as she rubs those fibers together. I love those trees!
