2 weeks ago by craftsanity Wow. This project has been so fun! I’m thinking about designing more prints to color in. What do you guys think? #collaborate #wellness #letscollaborate #art #itworked #aquinascollege #printmaking #printmaker #inspiration #communitybuilding #lino #makestuff #handwriting #artondeadline #linocut #dotheworkyouwanttodo #printmakersofinstagram
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

1 day 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
