Snail of a Tail

Snail of a Tail. Dry Point.

This was my experiment with dry point etching on plexiglass.  I simply etched the image onto a small piece of plexiglass, inked it, and then printed it.  It was hard to control the lines but much quicker than etching on metal.

Kyaks

Kyaks. Lino-Cut.

This was my first attempt at a linoleum cut and the registration of several different plates.  To make the image I had to carve three separate pieces of linoleum, ink them, and then print them in such a way that the image lined up. I struggled with getting it all to line up but I enjoyed using the bold lines and vibrant colors.

Printmaking

Tea for Two. Etching.

This was my first experience with the etching process.  I etched into a Zinc plate this picture of the birds based off a picture I actually saw on Pinterest.  I made some modifications to make the image more of my own. I would love to continue to explore this technique.

Spoon Garden-Markers

For my mom's birthday I flattened out these spoons...

and then hammered in the vegetable/plant names.

They'll be fun to stick in the garden or pots to mark what's growing where.

Watercolor Doodles

Watercolors have become my new favorite medium to explore. I had a lot of fun with the waterproof ink on these little cards. Perfect for thank yous, notes, or tags.

Laura and the Seven Peas

Just some fun colored-penciling for my cousin.

Box of Emotions

This was my first assignment with paint for Foundations in college. We used Gouache to create a self-portrait. I wanted to play off of the idea that that I would like to work with kids and teach art and used the crayons to express that.
