SEVERAL THINGS


Well, what do you know! I got a message that I was to start on my blog again! Inspirational! Now I HAVE been thinking about what I want to say, and there are several subjects that I want to comment on. But another time--I'm still thinking.
One is WHAT I'd like all administrators to have training in. I mean Wharton MBAs, Doctors, School Superintendants, College Presidents--well, you get the idea. But I haven't completely thought the words out yet. So another day.
Another thing that I'm considering is about SALT, and still another is about the anticipation I feel for our family Christmas which will be in Kansas.
.I'm a artist print maker. That's a bold statement. Perhaps I should say that I'm fascinated by the methods of print making such as screen printing, etching, wood and lino cuts, and the many variations thereof. I am completely fascinated by any of the methods which are complicated and long drawn out. The end result is often a surprise, and not always something I like, but always something exciting. So tonight, if I can, I'll put one of my originial prints on this blog, and see what happens. (Again, "well" look where the machine put the print!) This is a screen print, and it took 3 screens to do it. Do you like it? Joy---Marian

I love your work as you know--mostly I am fascinated as to how you continue to reinvent yourself, a real renaissance woman, and one of your methods is through art. Your life and your work are inspiring to me. When so many of us feel silenced by the world and political circumstances as well as our own personal circumstances (age, situation, etc.), you continue to have a strong voice in so many ways. That is so encouraging--to young artists and old friends alike.
I do not understand what you mean by SALT?
