not seeing double...

rather, these are two mono prints. using 

water based inks, i painted the image

then ran a print through the press.

then i repainted a second painting with slightly 

different colors.

looking through a viewfinder and taking 

various portions of the print

there are several different references i can 

use to create other paintings should i wish to.

in this way i am using my own image to create

further pieces.  

it is the beginning of a busy weekend.  

busy doing what you might wonder...

well, in another life i was a passionate knitter.  i could always be 

seen with a pair of knitting needles in my hands.  i loved yarns.  i made it a point

of visiting every yarn store in my city and other cities i visited.   i learned when 

i was 9, taught many many friends to knit, designed my own patterns

was the go to person in many circles when knit problems came up because

i was known as the solver.  after decades of knitting, a few years ago i developed 

tendonitis and can no longer knit.  i have a treasure hold of yarns that i have be unable

to let these yarns go.  today i have started the process of lightening my load,

simplifying, passing on that which does not serve me.   these boxes have been

delivered to a friend and passionate knitter.  there are more boxes yet to come.

feels good.
