I've been scanning reams of photos from decades past, learning more than I ever wanted to know about running a condo assocation (as I've taken on the presidency of same this past week), and only yesterday got a chance to throw some paint. Given that it was Golden High Flow, though, it was satisfying to the max to see it run, pool and play on the 20 x 16 textured surface I started some weeks back.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKbjRxj-lPGwh4W0wdJhyphenhyphenHJnV0KbDkHx0ALsCuqNlyY4uBqtRTlXZbq3lVcfBItglAFFdrnjv3nB8RYRPMToVFBioRsvy36-ewLKbIiUIuVmq4GCUgQI9wDD2Imp1SZ71clZG5gNp25dusX_F9AADqD7qKI2wHH_ypIwHmjTub0bAjNOVGkgAQGJvFzD0Y/s1013/IMG_E4782.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1013" data-original-width="893" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKbjRxj-lPGwh4W0wdJhyphenhyphenHJnV0KbDkHx0ALsCuqNlyY4uBqtRTlXZbq3lVcfBItglAFFdrnjv3nB8RYRPMToVFBioRsvy36-ewLKbIiUIuVmq4GCUgQI9wDD2Imp1SZ71clZG5gNp25dusX_F9AADqD7qKI2wHH_ypIwHmjTub0bAjNOVGkgAQGJvFzD0Y/w353-h400/IMG_E4782.JPG" width="353" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The above photo is fun given it shows the paint before it starts drying, and that's one of my favourite parts.

This week I've been ironing documents (and there's a phrase I never expected to use). A small suitcase, well over a hundred years old, turned out to be full of scrunched up/rolled up/creased and abused documents from my maternal grandparents, both born in the 1880's. My grandmother's birth certificate, some of which is written in Gaelic, shows her born October 13, 1886, in Clontonacally, district of Ballylesson, county Down, Ireland. The document measures 7 1/4" x 16 1/4" in size, a fair bit bigger than the wallet size ones I have.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRcC2zTgdw6O1CnFj_DL7sOFKf_VnThyUNyZbPuD4HuM-gmiDx7FTc12Jxu5EPKiaaIBiyOMxV1qfIcUO2JvsEeL8F5T-xGD1LalNIoslLQEIywYZmiFA169LLhiyjZTmkIw6hdb1RunYcoQbP13zAVB_0pDGuB5vMpbRBmUXjxb4Hpp3Kw7ObEdSPcfRa/s1824/Grandma%20Anderson%20Birth%20Certificate.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="859" data-original-width="1824" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRcC2zTgdw6O1CnFj_DL7sOFKf_VnThyUNyZbPuD4HuM-gmiDx7FTc12Jxu5EPKiaaIBiyOMxV1qfIcUO2JvsEeL8F5T-xGD1LalNIoslLQEIywYZmiFA169LLhiyjZTmkIw6hdb1RunYcoQbP13zAVB_0pDGuB5vMpbRBmUXjxb4Hpp3Kw7ObEdSPcfRa/w400-h189/Grandma%20Anderson%20Birth%20Certificate.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>I was amused to find two copies of my grandfather Anderson's baptism certificate, and I'm sure there's a story behind that.

It was entirely due to yet another <strike>computer</strike> operator fail when I attempted to download the latest version of Microsoft Outlook. I managed to mess it up so badly (I thought) that I lost contacts, calendar and my carefully constructed files. The truth was that the 'new' Outlook doesn't have those capabilities, and may not for some time. The repair shop was badly backed up, and it took ages to sort it all out. Microsoft is, once again, on my 'What in heaven's name were you thinking?' list. 😖</p><p>In the meantime, I hosted a Bodacious Bookmarks morning for some artist friends. We crafted some 40+ bookmarks to gift the local library, who offers them on a donation basis to their patrons. As you know, any money in the library coffers is a boost for education, and who could say no to that?</p><p>We had a blast, and I'd be happy to use any one of them to mark my place. Here's are photos of the fun, and the end results!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjnpwxWwVsoHJtjsdmB9KzOfHva9tPXUfKuK-HTzU6QoHuF2tHnRi8RSYEn5KN6-RaTNpO5BzuRpeOI5DqD1pB_74bOPCRuoeQ1DjY5KBtiI4PBLQrF_XyoOMpx8iN7FmZpzwaCrfMJTPFvWp1psULkwayooZeqlBj61i-lmXMapVxChVfT87V8ziYkam/s4032/IMG_4653.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Here are some photos from the sporadic sessions. Some need another layer or two, and some work just beautifully the way they are. </p><p>This one is a fave; the first print was luminous opera and Hansa yellow, followed by a second one of liquid medium, and then a layer of Alizaron Crimson using a hand-cut Typar stencil.

And since I've received my replacement 12 x 14" Gelli plate, I'm hosting a gel print party for myself. It's been so long since I've done any gel printing I get to learn it all over again, and isn't that a great thing? 🤣 There's more changes to the paint shirt as well. Those activities are for posts down the line, so in the meantime, Happy New Year 🎉🍾🥂 to you all.

month as I saw people going through my artwork, really <i>seeing</i> it in so
many ways. They discussed it, asked
questions, looked deeply and with great interest. It made me aware of how little we, as artists
and more importantly, as people, rarely have the chance to be <i>really </i>seen. And, unique to artists I believe, is the
intense attention to the miracles around us because as we notice and focus on
so many things that make up our environment. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIStnoFAHffWLpl4knwuyC17NNdK_ft5l3GfnX64vf5FO8yWBuGHjwn9M4Zvh1m6aaGjVpiO6Jz_yPRxAelduLbGzNCjyC6yC_elWorXeBLU2qDhmVNJaIMy9a57DLy_73nbTIkuDxD69n-sXXSGXBs1udb8zIaYc-OPJ5u3M4826DbhpzVSo9ZxkF1ku-/s1383/IMG_E4551.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1045" data-original-width="1383" height="303" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIStnoFAHffWLpl4knwuyC17NNdK_ft5l3GfnX64vf5FO8yWBuGHjwn9M4Zvh1m6aaGjVpiO6Jz_yPRxAelduLbGzNCjyC6yC_elWorXeBLU2qDhmVNJaIMy9a57DLy_73nbTIkuDxD69n-sXXSGXBs1udb8zIaYc-OPJ5u3M4826DbhpzVSo9ZxkF1ku-/w400-h303/IMG_E4551.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">I wonder what our world would look like if we could only
