The weather has gone up and down, from wintry cold to summer heat. This Memorial Day it was warm but raining.
My big event was purchasing a high-quality printer, a Canon Pro-200S. It can print on heavy weight fine art paper, up to 11 x 14 or longer. The directions are unintelligible, but the Canon people are very helpful on the telephone. I am slowly learning how to get the results I want. My first success is a limited edition print of a hamsa that I had quilled previously. 
I also commissioned a piece of equipment that I needed. It is a vise, made to hold a stack of quilling paper at high pressure so that I can edge-gild it.
I look forward to working with both of these tools!
The Falls Church Arts gallery staged an exhibit entitled “Light and Dark” – a photography show. I entered the maximum allowance of three pictures and, much to my surprise, they were all accepted. These were all pictures I had done myself, in the days when I had my own darkroom and equipment. From rolling the film to printing the resulting pictures, I loved it all. Two of those photographs are on the wall behind me, and as of this writing, the top one has sold.
Here I am at the opening of the Falls Church Arts show, with the theme “Vivid”. The picture is a silkscreen I did a while ago, in a class I was taking. The biggest crowd I have seen came to the opening.
