Mixed Media Gelatin Plate Monotype

2010, mixed media printmaking / /
Today I framed up a piece for the Alter-A-tions show at the Experimental Art Gallery in Salem, MA. I am pleased to be showing at a new venue in a new town. Then I went to Charrettes in Woburn. They are closing the retail store so I got some good deals on some supplies. I played with making some cards and I made this print above. It is a gelatin plate print that I sewed on to another sheet of paper and the sewed other types of paper on and used the sewing machine to “draw” the loopy lines. I have some prints with this sewn collage technique on my website .

"Press" and Sewing Machine are Working

2010, mixed media printmaking / /

I have a “press”!!!!. It is a thing that is meant to bend sheet metal, but it works as a simple press. I tried a couple of quick plexiglass intaglio prints and I am pleased with the possibilities.

My sewing machine had a mind of it’s own for the last few months. It did not stop running when I took my foot off the pedal. Motor problem I guess, so I put it on a new table with a new motor. I can’t wait to start sewing on my prints again. www.linda-germain.com

4 Wishes book by Linda Germain a Mixed Media Print

2010, handmade books, mixed media printmaking / /

This little accordion book moves me. I made it as an experiment for a book making class that I was preparing for. I think I do my best work when I am experimenting and having fun. I used handmade recycled paper, rubber stamps that I had carved, and found object stamps. To check out the classes that are still open at NECC College for Kids go to http://www.necc.mass.edu/collegeforkids/docs/cfc_2009_brochure.pdf or call 978-556-3000
