Strange Mood Sunday

Having come to the conclusion that I will never buy another Lexmark printer I went out to Office Max and returned the reburbished catridge and looked at the printers at the store.

I left and thought about it for a couple of hours then went back to Office Max and bought an HP inkjet printer forgot the model number but it's Wi-Fi ready which means once I get hi-speed connectivity and get rid of the awful dial-up I'll be swinging!

I printed out what I wanted really late last night for the collage from hell -- I'm not totally satisfied with the layout but with the printer I can do some rearranging and adding and subtracting -- it's funny how you can start on a collage/assemblage and have it "sit" and then realize that's not the direction you want to go in and start a fresh arrangement. I like that.

Tammy's Art Blog: Mad & I try out collage (art recipe for fun)

Tammy's Art Blog: Mad & I try out collage (art recipe for fun)

Sunday May 21

The weather has been really cool and pleasant. Last night I worked on the art collage from hell. The priner wouldn't print the image correctly -- using an old version of Photoshop - it's either the work space or the printer. It sucked.

So I try using the other printer I got very cheaply at Target with my laptop. Big mistake. No drivers. Went online took an hour to download the driver for the now Discontinued POS printer. Sucks. Then the refurbished cartridge didn't want to cooperate. My laptop recognizes the printer but the printer won't print. The POS.

Art is not for the faint of heart. Undaunted I decided to read some slash. OK if you don't know what that is don't look it up. It's for adults and well....just if you don't know don't ask me. I'll deny it.

I'm not kidding. Seriously. But it does involve Mulder and Skinner

And you thought I just did artwork? LOL>

Art Fair @ Laumier

Went to the Art Fair at Laumier Sculpture park. What a blast! Lots of great artwork and some of the nicest artists I've ever met!

I spent about 150 on art which is something I haven't done in a long time! Saw some art that I so wish I could have purchased.

Maybe next year!
