Hatching love

127/365 The secret language of eggs- Love, originally uploaded by Champignons.

Where have I been? I have been featured seller on folksy- thanks folksy! - and thus I have been very busy. It's been a funny old year.. I thought it was going to be a lean Christmas, but it turns out most of my customers this year are in the UK rather than the US, so the peak buying frenzy was later than usual. I've bought us a rather good camera with some of the proceeds, happily.

There are two versions of this print.. the hate version I feel is rather funnier (bustard.. twite.. tit.. booby- such comedy in bird names!) but I feel alone and unloved so I will show you these and hope thehatch into something splendid.

Last on my list of things to do today: write blog.
So here itgoes... I've been super busy and I am absolutely shattered so I might not make any sense. This is a print I made, I really liked it because I used so new techniques to get the texture on the dress and I think it worked well. It also pleases me because I have sold quite a few copies already, and you know how excited i get when I sell a screen print so several in a week is heady stuff.

The irony is that I have had the negative for this kicking around for ages, it was one of the first prints I tried to do. It came out disappointing (inexperience on my part and lack of a good set up) which sort of highlights how much I have come on with my printing.

I think another reason I ignored it so long was that I wasn't sure if the quote (from 'The Picture of Dorian Grey) was truthful, I mean, perhaps the best way to experience reality is the sit really sit; or anyway, most of my dealings with reality come in deep meditation. But then, sometimes in life threatening situations you get that same concentration, and you walk the knife edge. I guess that it what it means.

Anyway,I think I'll be working on some other dress colours and patterns in the future.
