Failures into progress

So after getting everything moved to the studio and starting to work on what I thought was a good idea...complete failure. Well it helped me to realize that silkscreen will not be my print method and I am going to stick with viscosity printing. However I wasted 6hrs creating just about the worst print work I have created in my life so far. The printmakers know viscosity printing is an area that I have not only found to be successful but well worth the work. Although I have no images to post as of yet, I have been working. I will be in the studio again for the whole day to print viscosity and be able to create my maquette to show on Tuesday's faculty critique. If anyone wants to stop by the print studio on Monday and give feedback or just to look, more than welcome! I also just feel like I need encouragement, I feel like I'm getting nothing done when I really am :( I also have decided to explore using my prints as stand up pieces like in a paper theater/ pop up theater instead of tunnel books.

    I think that once you get the maquette images posted your idea of the paper theater/pop up theater idea will be more clearly understood. Although I know what you're going for and understand the way you have explained it, others may not. I look forward to seeing your images on Monday and your work on Tuesday. You have plenty of encouragement here. If it were not for the work you did this week you would not have had this discovery. I also think it will be beneficial and much more enjoyable for you to work with the viscosity printing. Although I know nothing about printmaking, like we talked about Wednesday, I do know that it is much better to do something that you enjoy and worth the work. I think that the results of this process will give you much more satisfaction and success. I can't wait!

    I think this idea will fit better in the gallery setting and your viscosity work is outstanding. but do not give up on the book keepit as something for later.
