I am just getting ready to start working my studio - during a day of sharing printmaking activities with others on our island (Saltspring) to celebrate International Printmakers’ Day. We work in our own studios or kitchens, sharing (by email )what we are doing and have accomplished periodically during the day. At the end of the day the images and stories are collated and we acknowledge all the wonderful results of this collaboration.
Before I came down to my workplace I unpacked my groceries that have been sitting for 72 hours in their brown paper bags.
That changed my plans for my participation in the International Printmakers’ Day today.
I don’t have much to go on, all I know is that I am printing on those bags! In England we don’t have (or have a history of) using brown bags at the grocery store. It was something we saw in movie or TV shows like Mr Ed. Or The Fonz (Is that the right spelling?). - see the web link for Bulldog Paper Bags below - 1965)
Now I find myself not only using them, but using them when I don’t want to during this time of socially distant shopping
It seems like a good base for work today.
