Photoetching with threadwork



These are from my photoetching workshop taken in early august at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. The first image shows the wall above my workspace where I was playing with layering the threadwork with the etching prints and with woodcuts that had been printed on silk organza. Some of the etching plates were made by exposing the plate with some threadwork lace on top of it, so the thread is both in the etching and on top as real thread. I also have one print with the threadwork stitched right to it, but I have to take a better picture before I can post it.


The second piece is one of the organza prints surrounded by threadwork. More experimenting to come.

Telephone book


Found this very cool looking telephone book in a old-style telephone booth. The book was all distraught and aged from being exposed to the elements. I don't have a detail the book but here is an overall image of the phone booth.
