I could use your help and advise about photo editing and managing software on a Mac.  I took the leap and got a Macbook a couple of weeks ago, and I have a lot to learn.  I am coming from an old PC, using photoshop 6 to edit and folders by date to manage.  Out of 14 GB of documents to transfer from my old computer 13GB are photos and mostly of my artwork.  I have been trying out Elements 9, checking out iPhoto,  and elements organizer.  Thanks.

So I am participating in the Littlest Print Exchange, and I sent out may package of prints yesterday.  The deadline was the 15th.  Why wait ’til the last minute?  I don’t know.  The theme this year is accessibility.  How it works is I sent in 51 prints 3″ x 3″ and I get back a full set of 50 prints, one from everyone in the exchange.  This is my first time participating.  I am excited to see what I get back.  I am thinking of trying to find a local venue to exhibit the portfolio.

Hammering a Stencil
© linda germain 2011
So last week I went to an antique store in Georgetown looking for old plastic doilies to use as stencils.  I did not find any by I did find this metal dish on the free table outside. I took it back to the machine shop and started hammering back and forth to flatten it out.  And it works!  I really love new free finds.
