I've had the usual kind of South Shore summer. Lots of visiting with good folk & fun in the sun. I've also been busy moving my studio to a perfect little space above the <a href="http://lunenburgmakery.ca/site" target="_blank">Lunenburg Makery</a>. I'm breaking in the space with an Open Studio & Sale to showcase some of the work I created during my Gros Morne artist residency in June. <span style="text-align: center;">I'll also be selling my remaining stock of Lunenburg Collection screen-printed textiles. I'll be posting more details soon.</span></div>

Just about a year ago I joined the team at The Lunenburg Makery (see drawing of building above). I lot of my creative energy and love has gone into my work there which means after a great start to 2012, I instantly started neglecting my blogging duties here. I've been up to a lot of exciting things over there though. You should <a href="http://www.lunenburgmakery.ca/" target="_blank">check it out.</a><br />

2. In three weeks I'm starting an artist residency in Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland. For one month I'll be residing in the town of <a href="http://woodypoint.ca/" target="_blank">Woody Point</a> and soaking in all the wonderful things the natural world has to offer. I have a lot to do to get ready for this adventure which brings us to number three.<br />

3. Sketchbook! Unless I'm traveling somewhere I've not been a great sketchbook keeper. At the start of April I picked up a new sketchbook and started picking away at it. This new practice coincided with my new years resolution to rejoin a local life drawing class. It was tough getting back into practice, but once everything fell back into place it felt simply wonderful. It is a great reminder to <i>see</i> everything around you as if you were traveling in a new place.<br />
<br />
I just received a copy of <a href="http://www.book-by-its-cover.com/design/drawn-in-designing-the-cover-wrap" target="_blank">Julia Rothman's</a> <i>Drawn In: A peek into the inspiring sketchbooks of 44 fine artists, illustrators, graphic designers & cartoonists. </i>Exploring this book has hammered into me the importance and freedom that comes with keeping a sketchbook. I picked up a small 7 x 10 inch book which means starting a new page isn't intimidating, not that drawing scares me. It is failure to draw that scares me.<br />

They were given to me years ago by my mother and if I'm remembering correctly some of them were once my grandmother's. The delicate stitches on the thin white cotton captures my attention every time I pull them out. I started a few studies in watercolour attempting to mimic the fine embroidered patterns.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4RSUmsMoG1bJEQgnv1L2t3_-07IOHXaOUEVONrI6_bXhqAOCrjjFxijrNBmwp4H1yWbkzDkibYZmdMZqRngeUDiiZkdoefsnlmkclxV2BOJRszJnHWAirVya2ej_5rPfh12eJYsmI_tI/s1600/DSC_0062_2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 309px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4RSUmsMoG1bJEQgnv1L2t3_-07IOHXaOUEVONrI6_bXhqAOCrjjFxijrNBmwp4H1yWbkzDkibYZmdMZqRngeUDiiZkdoefsnlmkclxV2BOJRszJnHWAirVya2ej_5rPfh12eJYsmI_tI/s400/DSC_0062_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707952676963662946" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL_TwcKOcajAY3on3oFAE2rePnlI2yg6uNGWPmpU_zL1zLH8xa81T-f0UjcBVi9_tm63JhDq4-9-1_Ntd3Tj2ArGaQ5-ZcYahplLD03syhM1mjh9iu6Mlxk3s1dU1Dw-IyGYv9Z9e9ON8/s1600/DSC_0063_2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL_TwcKOcajAY3on3oFAE2rePnlI2yg6uNGWPmpU_zL1zLH8xa81T-f0UjcBVi9_tm63JhDq4-9-1_Ntd3Tj2ArGaQ5-ZcYahplLD03syhM1mjh9iu6Mlxk3s1dU1Dw-IyGYv9Z9e9ON8/s400/DSC_0063_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707952673829728786" border="0" /></a><br />I'm still new to the world of watercolours and have much to learn. My grandmother prided herself on using watercolours as a medium, saying that pastels were 'just too easy, if you make a mistake all you have to do is erase it!' After binning a few pieces already I'm thinking it might be time to switch to pastels.kat frick millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04180519440683730795noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549807266717317850.post-91804053941191767742012-01-02T13:17:00.000-08:002012-02-11T20:39:57.946-08:00a new yearI started 2012 sadly taking down my show <span style="font-style: italic;">Tales from the valley, through the forest to the shore.</span> at the Black Duck Gallery.

With <a href="http://www.halifaxcrafters.ca">Halifax Crafters</a> winter market and a solo show at <a href="http://www.blackduck.ca/">The Black Duck</a> in Lunenburg, both coming up in December I have a lot to get done. Lucky me, I have four brand new big screens to do it with!<br /><br />I might be gaining access to a light table to shoot my screens with soon which is a huge relief. Right now the sun is my primary exposure unit and it can be cloudy for days here in Lunenburg County leaving my studio work at a stand still.

I carry the screen out in a garbage bag and when the sun looks right I pull it off and start exposing. My exposure time is around 30 to 40 seconds, depending on the strength of the sun.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj81uQ_oMS4GXaPR7-IhceCAoEPAJyoxQ6dA9SIEnLmDPtSW188bV9JzoT_msvTTWrZoAklGQLH9gxQVfUp2LcU1-6AazW48EKdY29CEdJsHEH4o2bONFWCblS7JKT0eQd24X1H0d24fBI/s1600/DSC_0004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj81uQ_oMS4GXaPR7-IhceCAoEPAJyoxQ6dA9SIEnLmDPtSW188bV9JzoT_msvTTWrZoAklGQLH9gxQVfUp2LcU1-6AazW48EKdY29CEdJsHEH4o2bONFWCblS7JKT0eQd24X1H0d24fBI/s400/DSC_0004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668592308484187186" /></a><br />After 40 seconds I then frantically run and hide in the shade behind my favorite forsythia bush, remove the design (I've learned how crucial it is to fold over my tape ends for quick removal) and rinse the screen out with my garden hose. <br /><br />However, once the snow flies I lose my garden hose and this system gets a lot more complicated.

It was a pretty fantastic weekend. Getting out to see all of the marvelous creations by my fellow crafters makes it worth it every time. Today I'm just unpacking, organizing and let's be honest, catching up on a world of housework I neglected leading up to the market!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0pb5wP2iHSBPnzKlsJIxo1BNUOyifgAs4b68vlbwzW9h6imdVg4UKq7ISQwyGMzfc1lZP4cMvwRLGbTFqzEXab8EMHIUeuIsEorUutzsvJlDbHZIrUwYxx5lwLH3nT7fcTA7m9ESfHeY/s1600/hfxcraft.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0pb5wP2iHSBPnzKlsJIxo1BNUOyifgAs4b68vlbwzW9h6imdVg4UKq7ISQwyGMzfc1lZP4cMvwRLGbTFqzEXab8EMHIUeuIsEorUutzsvJlDbHZIrUwYxx5lwLH3nT7fcTA7m9ESfHeY/s400/hfxcraft.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602134076579871682" /></a><br /><br />Not the best pic, but here is a little shot of my mountain of pillows and other goodies available at the market.<br /><br />I stayed overnight in Halifax Saturday and had a chance to spend some quality time with a few friends I don't see often enough these days. Though my birthday was in March they surprised me with a mini birthday celebration. Lots of sugar, a vegan birthday cupcake from Susie Shortbreads and jelly belly beans which hastened my post-market crash. I was asleep on the couch by 10pm.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDHgpBbapjnCIKJUQ8AOVOHyJ1GWXt2EeBbty31i2LUiwa7vxzJJKwMeJPrcqXgkKJsNnj-fOUDJ4F0slLex4Ay8z3VFM5wx4BwFpe82B036rQg9xBbvH76dKDJafdhCnOedOarFZq2g/s1600/queen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDHgpBbapjnCIKJUQ8AOVOHyJ1GWXt2EeBbty31i2LUiwa7vxzJJKwMeJPrcqXgkKJsNnj-fOUDJ4F0slLex4Ay8z3VFM5wx4BwFpe82B036rQg9xBbvH76dKDJafdhCnOedOarFZq2g/s400/queen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602134066091433890" /></a><br /><br />I also left with this beauty of a gift!
