vg13. Working the Tech Aspect, One Montage Finished Fast and the Other took Longer

I got up good and early this Saturday to do the studio work.  My mind was clear and I was ready to roll.  I had been having trouble with buying a new program for charting on Google Play.  Since Google support was busy for a while I figured calling on Saturday might get me someone to speak to.  I mean there are only technicians and fools working on Saturday morning nine o'clock.  Once that was done, I would really go for some devastating beautiful photo-montages.

So I got the technical support on line.  And then I was transferred to someone else.  And then they had to check out the protocol.  And by the time the whole thing was solved the morning was gone.  Well, it wasn't solved but I would speak to the tech next week (it was the weekend).  So the morning flew by and I had some errands to do and by the time I got to do some studio work it was night time.

Actually that in itself wasn't bad.  Saturday night is a magic night and I have always thought that, with a little bit of mood music, you can enjoy yourself doing some pretty nice creative work.  I did two good photomontages.  Well I completely finished one successfully and did a fair amount of work on the other.

For the second image I kept on trying to get the fireplace into this image I was making for the Autumn Leaves: New City exhibition that is now in the Val Gal. I printed the image again and again with no luck.  And then the ink ran almost out.  So I have got to get some new cartridges pretty fast.  Luckily I got a gift certificate in the mail for the Office Supplies store I buy the stuff from.  It might not hurt to see if the prices are less expensive on Kodak, the manufacturer of the cartridges and the machine.

About eight o'clock I stopped.  I would work on that unfinished montage the next day.
The next morning I had to think it through.  I took a break on Sunday to do some framing of the images I finished the week before.  And that really nice one that I did on Saturday.  The results were really nice.

Finally  after resting from work on Sunday and most of Monday I went back to the unfinished montage, took a deep breath, prayed the ink would last, and worked on it again.  The results were good.  I will frame it next week.

vg1. Introducing Val Gal by Kathy Fabian

September 9, 2015 In the romantic novels the artist goes way up to his tiny attic on the very top of his house to create and be free.  Sometimes it has a great view of Paris.  Or sometimes the person is a writer who creates great novels and ideas. They both seal themselves from the rest of the world to do great things.  Well why not imitate?   I live in a woman's residence in a very small room. When I first arrived I imagined it as a womb.  A creative womb in which I would heal and rest and create great art.  I would sit on the bed cross yoga position with hands on my legs and look out the window and the blue sky. I would imagine I meditated.   I would imagine I was one with the blue sky. Well years have gone by and I no longer think of the room as a womb.  It became a small and impoverished cell for a while and then my imagination took over again.  I thought of it much like that attic. So now it is my studio in which I develop and frame the photographs that I create.  I ha

V24. Sparkling for the Celebrations. New Vintage Jewelry

Superstitious?  What kind of rituals do you follow for good luck?  For myself, I like to take advantage of special times to see if I can reap good fortune.  For example, if I have something important to organize I am likely to do it on a Holiday or on Sunday. So planning this week's Studio work was a no brainer.  I had recently received a large amount of old jewelry from an estate. The choicer pieces had long gone and these were left.  They were supposed to be unsellable.  So I asked how they were organized. I said if you give almost them to me, I will organize them for you in the proper way.  But I was given them instead. The owner felt they were just cluttering up the house.  Luckily I have my jewelry collection. To get them they had to be quickly boxed and taken off the premises.  But once I brought them home, there was no time to organize them anymore because of the Holiday Preparations.  So this Saturday I took some time to clean the antique jewelery and to put them pro

Happy Thanksgiving to All! I hope you enjoyed your day and will look forward to many things to give thanks for until the next Thanksgiving. Get the exquisite image on this blog post.  Custom Made!   You Deserve the Luxury. And you support the Artist. Write  kfabian.kathynotes@gmail.com   for inquiries.    The leaves are brightly colored outside.  And the days sunny. So I went into my archives to find some images with splendid autumn foliage.  Saturday I reserved for studio work .  I had been tidying up my collection of muses and had a few lovely ladies ready to star in my photographic extravaganzas.  The final element was the inclusion of the very expensive, very evident presence of construction in the neighborhood. I had a lot of autumn pictures but I wanted to showcase technology and machines.  As luck would have it we were having some road repair done right outside our house.  And voila I had the tree elements with very little trouble;  Construction sites, beautiful
