Margaret Makes a Movie!

I don't know quite what got into me this morning (Spring Fever?), but while I was in my messy room (where I do painting and dyeing and what-not) painting some birches a la Mary Wilton, I decided I should make a video.

I played with the camera; it was no surprise that my first attempt -- while painting those trees on fabric -- didn't work out.  Still, I persisted!  😉

I finished the birches and moved on to some mono-printing, which I figured I could describe without a script as I've now done this particular type of mono-printing several times.  I set it all up, began to work and talk at the same time -- et voila!

Here's my wee tutorial on mono-printing.  Not sure I'll make a habit of this...but let me know what you think!  😊

I'm in the Movies!....and...

Well...on the SAQA Channel on YouTube, as part of the Visioning Project. I get a giggle every time I watch it, but I hope especially that you enjoy it for what it shows you about me and my work. Enjoy!

And...I found out yesterday that I've been accepted as a participant in the Deep Freeze Gallery at this year's Deep Freeze Festival (Jan. 8-9) in Edmonton. I take my pieces (4!) up there January 2nd.  I hope to get up there the next weekend too, to be at the gallery with my work.  I think it's fun to talk to viewers about what they are looking at, don't you?
