Well yesterday was spent going ALL over the place for computer equipment and such...Nice way to spend a beautiful California Saturday right?! Gasp...I would have rather been at the beach! But the nice thing is that today it is starting to feel good. I have (Actually Michael has) my studio finally coming together! Before today, my computer was intermingled with Michael's in his living room...now my computer is in my Studio/Family room and is now humming along!
The up side to this is that maybe I will start doing my art work again on a regular basis. One of the things I have been wanting to do is capturing collaging and photo's onto fabric for my quilts. I just bought a printer last night that SHOULD be ok with my printing on fabric! And it also prints transparency's which I want to use on my paper collages and altered books!
This could be very exciting!
The printer is an all in one HP 2410...I have scanned photos already and even printed! But I am not ready for the fabric part yet...I have to get my act together for that part and I am too tired right now! Not doing anything when I am tired...
Real life has been getting to me lately, so I have not been keeping up with my cleaning skills...not that I am a dirty pig, but I am NOT OCD about cleaning my house either! I vacuumed up oh about 10 spiders hanging around my cluttered family room today...more floors are still filthy, do not have the energy to mop! that has to be for another day!
I had to move a TON of items off of my little kitchen table that I have in my family room. And I still have not found a place for everything...some things went to a box that will live under my other table for a time! And be friendly for awhile to spiders!
My goodness, you've been prolific with the posts! :) I need to check up on you much more often.
I want to be neighbors so you can show me all about collaging. And I've wanted to make a photo quilt since I don't know when. Long time. What kind of printer did you get? I want reports on how well that goes. :) If it's easy and not too expensive, I may just have to try it.

I was on a roll! (G)
I would so welcome you being a neighbor! I would love to collage with you...and do the photo quilt! I have been wanting this since 1993!!!! I am a slow mover some times...What lack of money does to an artist! Bah!
The printer I got was that all in one thing...an HP 2410 but I haven't had time to really try the fabic yet...kinda scared...in a good way! Will tell you more as I go!
