Rainy and Thundery
So here I am at 2:10 a.m. sitting at my kitchen table next to a thunder and lightning storm wondering how I expect to get up early for work tomorrow. I am on this weird allergy medication that makes me jittery and really not sleepy. It has been awhile since I posted, cause I have been waiting to launch my new blog with the new website I'm building. But then the website took on a different look and now I'm thinking I'd like to change the face of my blog, so.....well you know how it is. Much easier to design something for somebody else than for yourself. I have always thought it a logical idea to hire somebody else to do all my web stuff. But I just can't let somebody else.
So.
I got a crash course in photography from my husband sylvain a few days ago when we took our wicked new bikes for a long ride on Toronto island. He slept in the grass while I took a couple pics -- most of them were pretty terrible (especially when I decided to practice my food styling and carefully set up the leftover two bite brownies decorated with scattered pumpkin seeds we had in our trail mix....) BUT I did really like these pics I took ::
I have also got tons of things to post, including some Illustration Friday images that I never posted (see above explanation) but still want to share.
I have been screenprinting again, and recently did some shirts up for Sylvain and I (and a couple to my sister Elisha) -- they turned out pretty good but I realized I need really good equipment since alot of my lines are probably thinner than ideal for printing, and the light table I've been using is a bit crap. Anybody know if that makes a difference? Dimmer lights / less light exposure = scratchier and more inconsistent lines? I'm back in the studio on Sunday and plan to do some baby clothes. Apparently all my friends are having kids this year, so I thought I'd start making some good things that aren't 1) pink or blue 2) lame 3) super expensive. If it goes well I'll post some.
Some great links I've been checking out::

Stay tuned for I.F. posting....
