1. being in the studio2. printing scarves
3. the fragrance of steamed newspaper
For the first time in months, I spent a day in the studio. In fact, I didn't come home till after dark and I don't know where the evening went. It's after 2:am and I am just getting tired -- that's how energized I felt today. I made a few screens for deconstructing, mixed up a bunch of print paste in my el cheapo blender, mixed a few colors, and got busy.
I had a bunch of leftover dyed but unprinted scarves, as well as a few losers that have been sitting around and need more work. Here is the deconstructed screen and there is a scarf that needed something more to make it happy.
Since I hadn't been there for so long I spent some time getting organized. But tomorrow, I should be able to move quickly in the morning (if I get up after this late night - LOL) to print some more. Here are the scarves that came out of the steam pot tonight.

Wonderful! It so shows the pleasure of making. I believe that the artist's attitude while working is a message to the spectator. Art may be hard work, but its beauty comes from fun.
Hi Rayna,
I am so happy for you and can imagine how you feel (besides being tired)! The scarves look so great, will you put them for sale on your blog??
Have a great weekend,

HAPPINESS IS:
one of those beautiful scarves! Don't you just love days like you describe- when you look at the clock and wonder if it's time for lunch and it's 4 PM! When you realize you haven't hit the bathroom since morning coffee and it's almost dark! When you haven't checked email all day long... I sure need a few of these days again! Sleep well, dream of what happens tomorrow! S
Well worth the wait! You remind me, I need to add deconstructed screen printing to my project board... it's been way too long since I did any! Hope you got some rest!
Yay! This made me happy.
Such gorgeous stuff! I am in love with the last one that you say may need more work. Yikes--can it get any more luscious?
Your scarves are gorgeous. You certainly have a magic touch!
Beautiful scarves. Love your blog and your honesty about your creative life. Thanks for sharing with us.
