2 weeks ago by craftsanity Wow. This project has been so fun! I’m thinking about designing more prints to color in.

2 weeks ago by craftsanity Mission accomplished! I pulled prints with the new RAs over at Aquinas College. It was fun, but unfortunately I don’t have any photographic evidence of our work because I got a little caught up in the printmaking and forgot to take photos. Ah, well, I guess you had to be there. : ) Now that my work is done, I’m going to stitch this supersize embroidery sampler. I pulled this print at the very end of the tote bag print run. Of course, I want to stitch all this text. It’s the most logical next step. : ) #collaborate #wellness

2 days ago by craftsanity I carved this block a couple years ago, but never finished it. Tonight I will refine it on a very tight deadline. I’m only doing this because my studio is a cramped mess and I can’t find the block I had planned to print tonight. I created this problem myself. Time to power through and circle back to organize later. Wish me luck. It’s already past my bedtime. So tired. #printmaking @thecollegiate #grcc #studentmedia #print #journalism #jschool #printer #printmakersofinstagram #professorjen #formystudents
10 hours ago by craftsanity Today I’m coloring a couple of the prints I pulled last night. Paper prints of my recent collaboration with the Aquinas RAs are going to be displayed in black and white and full color at the Aquinas College counseling center. This is my largest paper print commission, so it has challenged me a bit which is all very good. I learned a few things during last night’s print run. Lifelong independent studies are the absolute best. #craftsanitypress #linoprint #printmaking #printing #print #printmakersofinstagram #collaboration #letsprint #aquinascollege #independentstudy #craftsanity #color
