A Printmaker’s Project

In the event that you are a printmaker, or at least someone who wants to give printmaking a whirl, I have come across a sweet project for you.  Select an element from the periodic table (about half are yet to be claimed) and create a print.  Even better, you have until May31 to ship the print off.  This is open for all skill levels (beginner to superhuman), so don’t be shy.  I haven’t created a print in over 20 years, but this project just seemed like too much fun. 

All the guidelines are at the following links:

Today was a warm, sunny day

The first 70+ degree day since last sept. or oct.  YAY!  I came home and my doggy was wagging his tail and crazy to go for a nice long walk…..and so we did.  Walked to the library to get Kristin a new book.  Awww…happy days.

On the serious side, I need to get more stuff up on my etsy shop and develop this blog page more and develop my myspace page more as well.  phew.  I am going to list some of the originals of the repro. prints that I already have up.  I am just trying to get all the descriptions right.  If the snow ever melts away from my back yard so that I can set up out there, I need to photograph my large paintings so that they may be listed too.  I’ll offer them as repro. prints 1st and consider selling the originals later….I am kind of attached to them right now.  I want to get a few stuffed creatures and mosaic tile pieces ready within the month.  This may be a bit ambitious considering how busy I have been and my “real” job is getting very busy (=overtime soon).  BUT  nothing wrong with goal setting….right? 

 wanna check out out my stuff???

Hello world!

Welcome to Oso Azul Design.

 I just wrote a touching 1st blog which was lost because my network went down as I finished spilling my guts to you people.  Forget it.  I am not trying again!  Good night nurse.  Don’t you all just love when that happens.  Golly.

So, anywho…I am here mainly to have a presence while I continue to develop my artsy fartsy side.  Feel free to check out my etsy shop at the above link.  YAY!  I also, have to get my website together and up.  All I really want to do is draw or paint or build something or finish unpacking our house or what EVER!  I do interrupt my daily activities with holding down a full-time “real job” but I am trying to get busy with the stuff that I love to do.  I am cereal people!  and silly…

 Now it is time for tacos….YUM!
