Printmaking Block

Well the ideas are whirling around in my head, just have a few stumbling blocks. 

I have been going to a really nice art venue, Wallarobba Arts and Cultural Centre 
in my suburb. It is a gorgeous old mansion, nicely renovated. It has a designated 
print studio. 

There is a very nice bunch of creative women there, led by our very inspirational 
print leader John. I told a really bad joke at Printmaking the other day. 'You must 
have too much on your plate, he he that's a really bad Printmaking joke!" 

I promised it would be my only joke of the day. I am gradually finding my way, 
having tried Linocuts, Collographs, Drypoint and Woodblock. 

None of my prints are exhibition standard yet, but hopefully will be one day. I have 
a studio at home which is chockablock full of equipment, mainly from my community 
art teaching days, and that is the frustration. 

Where the heck is my stuff! I just go in there and dig a bit deeper each day.

This is an artwork of mine, although it looks like a screen print, it is actually a 
gouache painting, with ink. It was at my first solo art show.
