New Drawings

I just added a few new drawings to my shopping site Lab5Shop. They are available as prints only – but for a few bucks you can frame em up and add some fun to your life. I am very inspired to draw right now since i am so prego I can’t do a lot of standing to paint or otherwise so drawing with a pad on the lap is so so perfect and so much creative fun for me. Visit the shop. Here are some teasers.

Turkey Meatloaf

Salad and Tea Time

Potatoes and Eggs

You whoo – look at my YUDU

So I experimented a bit tonight. No not in that way – or that way either! I grabbed all of my YUDU goodies and got to it. First, I did a freehand drawing, I decided for this first go I would do a simple one color line drawing. Next I transferred it on to a transparency, then burned my screen and was then ready to start printing. I have to admit that I was a bit impatient waiting for the screen to dry – 20 minutes is a long time to sit by knowing the screen is freshly burned and ready to go but for some water that needs to dry off. I wished the fan was hopped up on some speed and I could have a three minute dry time instead. But I followed the rules this first time and left it in the dryer for the full time. I looked over all of my ink choices to pass the time and decided on the fabulous gun metal bronze (grey really) – any way I really like that color. It is metallic and shiny without being too teenage pop-ish! What fun! Looking forward to more in the next few days. I have to now work on two color and registration which seems a bit scary to me. So here are some snaps of my process and out-come from tonight’s experiment. Thank you to Provo Craft and Mike for giving me a YUDU for free to experiment with. I am super excited to play!
