2 weeks ago by craftsanity I’m very excited to be adding a portable, indoor cyanotype printing set up to my studio that I will also be able to use to sprout my seeds for spring planting. Today is nice and sunny so I made a quick doily test print out on the deck. This form of printing is so much faster and cleaner than carving lino. However, I have no plans to give up printing with ink and look forward to continuing to explore all forms of printmaking. : ) #cyanotype #cyanotypes #sunprinting #doilies #sunprint #printmaker #fiberartist #fiberart #testprint
1 week ago by craftsanity Learning to embrace and celebrate life’s imperfections is a very freeing experience. I’m practicing this twice a week with muddy hands and wishing I had more time to spend exploring what can be made with clay and a bit of patience. #pottery #potterswheel #throwing #artschool #throwingpottery #grcc #potter #imadethis #art #mugs #mud #artist #imlearning #rookievibes #trysomethingnew #clay #handmadeinmichigan

2 days ago by craftsanity I’m up way past my bedtime, but I did manage to salvage my day and end it well. I shared a peanut butter apple with my daughter on our way back from art school this evening and it tasted amazing. Life is sweeter when you take a moment to reflect on what really matters. I was the last student to leave this space today. #arttherapy #pottery #motherdaughterart #art #learningstuff
