Screen Printing at Salt Lake Community College is chock-full of fast learners. I'm
impressed by their skills. The semester is really going by fast! We're moving from
trapping three colors into printing small type to learn how to develop crisp detail. This all culminates in a three-color
flatstock gig poster with illustration and type, a favorite assignment.
Some of the more advanced students have been printing multi-color t-shirts, table cloths, and
neckties. Cody printed some skulls on hightop converse allstars today, while Riley printed some aluminum water bottles
for West High. These kids are really getting into it!
"Salt Flats" (working title) is the fine art print I'm working on right now. That flat salt gave
me fits! It's difficult to see on the above picture of how it looks right now, but there are eight colors in that salt,
and I'm going to add two more tones of white! I'm currently printing the distant mountains--tomorrow I print lavender
and cornflower blue. I would like to have one finished and framed for the holiday sales season.
I'm busy getting ready for
the Red Butte Garden Holiday Open House (December 5-6.) I'm trying to finish "Salt Flats" and I'm making jigsaw puzzles
and other gift items as fast as I can. I hope I can some dye-discharge bandanas printed with floral themes.
My Etsy webstore is acellerating
into the holiday gift buying season. I've sold prints to folks across the United States and around the world, including
two prints to the United Kingdom. "Bottom Up" has been the most popular selling print on Etsy and the P2 Dogtags are
selling well.

Being co-chair of the National Distance Education and Training Council's Accreditation
Committee uses a different part of my brain. I am now editor of that section of the accreditation for Northern California
University, a new distance ed institution featuring graduate and PhD programs. It will keep me busy on those dark snowy nights
ahead!
Keeping busy until next time.
