And some snapshots danny took of me working on these:
as you can see i took over the dining room table with my watercolor supplies!
Honestly i had been itching to play with watercolor ever since i sold one of my originals- talk about inspiration and encouragement!
In other news- we must now backtrack to Thursday the 26th which was the Last Thursday Artwalk on Alberta st for August:
This was our booth set up. As always we were selling original art, silkscreen prints, tie dye and more.
I painted my face up in hopes to entice some souls to have their own faces/bodies painted by me for a few bucks:

...and so it did attract quite a few moms and their kids to have their faces painted:
and all was well and super fun until the unthinkable happened....Wells Fargo set up a table to "sign up accounts" right next to us!!! I was truly outraged by this and confronted them about it. I pretty much said that i was very uncomfortable with their presence at what is supposed to be a community based independent artwork festival. I hope i made my disgust known enough for them to think twice about setting up again. This may be a sign that its the beginning of the end for the Alberta arts festivals but i am determined to not be too disheartened. We will see how it goes for September's last Thursday art walk.
...Oh and for those who are wondering why my dreads are suddenly red- i colored it with Henna( all natural plant based hair coloring!)
The process was pretty messy and looked something like this:
but i had fun making the mess as always and the henna was so soothing and healing for my scalp.
The color change was pretty dramatic as you can see- but i love it! Change is good.
Danny has been super busy finsing these huge screens for a Buddha silkscreen/marbling project he has in the works:
As you can see- he is all done with the three screens needed to make up his 3 color Buddha print. Instead of using the photo emulsion method of creating these silkscreens he hand painted them with drawing fluid. The next step is getting all his supplies ready to begin marbling big sheets of paper that he will then print the buddha onto. i cant wait to see the outcome but we have to wait awhile and let the $$ come in so that he can purchase all the supplies.
a quick snap of Danny and I over the weekend. We spent a good amount of time hanging out on the patio, conversing and drinkin tea.
I hope every one's weekend went well.
more updates coming soon.
Best wishes,
-Chelsea Rose
