I had some exciting news at the end of April - I was accepted as a member of the <a href="https://www.sagaprints.com/artists-ak#/t-klacsmann" target="_blank">Society of American Graphic Artists</a>! In May, I attended my first meeting, which included a portfolio share. I made the 3 <i>Etude </i> pieces specifically to bring to the show and tell. I really enjoyed meeting some of the other member and seeing their work and look forward to being part of SAGA.<br />

I have many plant blocks that I love and use frequently, but I was wanting some new ones to add to the mix, so I carved these two. <br />

I made my annual visit to the nice nursery.<br />
<br />
In creature news I got some nice photos of Mo to compare with photos from exactly a year ago - he's grown so much, but still the same sweet and charming kitty.<br />
<br />
(*Max does not appear in these photos because one year ago, Max had not yet joined the creature family - but not to worry, he's happy and healthy, too.)<br />

In April, I continued working on the 30 x 40" collages, using the backgrounds I printed from multiple polyester lithography plates at <a href="https://www.zeamaysprintmaking.com/" target="_blank">Zea Mays Printmaking</a> in February. It was a long process, but two finished pieces that reached completion in April: <i>Sonata in Gray - Swallows, Butterflies, and Can, </i>and<i> Sonata in Gray - Crows and Frog.</i><br />

I broke the drapery for the figure down into 3 blocks - the lower body, the torso with one arm, and the cape with the other arm and tassels added as separate elements. The lower body and torso blocks were largely complete, the only additional work I did on them was to help all the blocks match in terms of mark style and frequency. Most of the month was spent carving the final block which was both the largest and probably the most demanding in terms of complexity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started with the sleeve since I had already carved the first one on the torso block, then got into the cape and finished with the tassels</div>

The second mission which I worked toward simultaneously was carving elements and preparing polyester lithography plates for some 30 x 40" landscapes. Because this is a larger scale than much of my work, I felt I needed a new tree block, which I carved, printed, scanned, and converted to polyester blocks. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br />I made additional polyester plates from my blocks of landscape elements sometimes layered with other scanned material such as patterns, forms, and maps. I also marbled 10 sheets of gray paper, slightly larger than 30 x 40," and marked the margins of a board to print them on. </div>

The second day, I cut out polyester lithography plates and collaged them on the press bed to make different landscapes. I varied the pressure, ink, and used ghosts to try to make the elements varied and atmospheric.<br />

My favorite human went way above and beyond to help me with this project. I was working round the clock in the days leading up to my press date to finish the tree block and make all the polyester plates (I ended up using about 54 plates). By the time I needed to pack up the car and head to the studio, driving itself would have been a challenge. Lacey rescued the project, helping me pack and unpack and get to and from the studio (including traversing a snowstorm!), as well as taking good care of the Honeybear while I was away. </div>

I hung it across from my bed, and I love seeing Sunny's little face every day (with her "I'm posing next to the artwork" expression.) The kitties are bonded and all doing well; Mini has gracefully stepped into her role as Feline Assistant, Sr. and momma-cat, and the boys continue to grow and thrive and seem to enjoy being trainee assistants. Still, I continue to miss Sunny, the original Feline Assistant, and love seeing this portrait of her each morning.</div>

Picking up from last time, the new owl block was complete, and since then I printed it along with the little snow leopard - thumbs up!<br />

This will be the third and final block to make up the body of a full scale figure (minus the head and hands which will be carved and printed separately.) I have a press appointment for the middle of February, so time is of the essence! <br />
<br />
I finished the torso block and went back in to the lower body block a little to make sure the carving style matches. (I had excellent canine and feline assistance.)<br />

I have two projects I'm hoping to accomplish, the first is printing the full figure, the other is printing complex, multi-plate landscape backgrounds. I'll be carving a few relatively small blocks for this but the majority of the plates will be based on blocks I already have. Recently my main focus has been observing the landscape around me - especially how the trees are grouped/ placed (I think the snow simplifies the ground making this easier to see at this time of year.) <br />

Little Miss Honey looooooooves the snow (though recently, there have been times when it's been so cold that her human won't let her out very long). The kitties have a different opinion on snow and take advantage of the winter days to snuggle together and nap (smart kitties :) ).<br />

I like the owl block very much (naturally - I heart owls!) But...the next phase of work is two projects (and neither of them is the owl; though maybe the owl will make an appearance in the finished piece(s) somehow?) <div>
<br /><div>
1) finish and print the large scale blocks for the big figure </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2) print large-medium backgrounds, variations from a fixed set of elements (like the most recent pieces for the Zea Mays flat file...only bigger) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have the press appointment for these two projects coming up in mid-February, so while there is enough time, there's not a lot of extra time (fingers crossed!)</div>
<div>

Since one of the upcoming projects is making the landscape backgrounds, I've also been taking lots of landscape photos and trying to figure out what elements I might want to feature in the new plates...</div>

A busy week in Artlandia! After submitting all the new prints for the Zea Mays Flat File (whoop!) it was time for a well-earned field trip to New York City. There I spent time with family and friends and saw the screening of <a href="https://www.sodajerk.com.au/news.php" target="_blank">Soda_Jerk's</a> awesome film, <i>Terror Nullius </i>at <a href="http://anthologyfilmarchives.org/" target="_blank">Anthology Film Archives.</a> </div>
<br />
The next day, my person and I went to the <a href="https://www.guggenheim.org/exhibition/hilma-af-klint" target="_blank">Hilma af Klint exhibition, "Paintings for the Future" at the Guggenheim</a> and it was amazing and eerie! Then we stopped by the <a href="https://www.frick.org/" target="_blank">Frick</a> to see a great show <span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><a href="https://www.frick.org/exhibitions/charterhouse_bruges" target="_blank">T</a></i><em style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.frick.org/exhibitions/charterhouse_bruges" target="_blank">he Charterhouse of Bruges: Jan van Eyck, Petrus Christus, and Jan Vos</a><span style="font-size: 21.25px;"> </span></em></span> that featured a Van Eyck painting near a companion piece by Petrus Christus - it was very cool to see the pieces together, and the show also included a terrific drawing possibly by Christus of a lost work by Van Eyck.<br />
<br />
We also stopped by to see the window displays at Bergdorf Goodman and they were dramatic and stunning.<br />

Getting to this point involved many steps. First I marbled the paper. Then I made polyester lithography plates for the background based on my relief prints. This time, I did something a little different in that I used the silhouette of my relief image and layered it digitally as a clipping mask over a pattern. I also used vignette edges, fading to white around the edges of each plate so that I could place them in different spots on the paper without leaving a line at the edge of the plate. Then I printed a variety of backgrounds. Unlike the last round, because these involved multiple plates, each one is different, and I also used the ghosts of the plates to create a difference in value from black to gray. Very excited with the way these turned out! <br />

<br />
With the holiday season upon us, I made and ordered this year's gift edition of 50, 5x5" digital collages.<br />
<br />
Maybe because I'd been working with it on the computer, I also used the swallow in the next collage for this year's Zea Mays flat file submission. One funny thing, to me, is that even though I used the same file to create the polyester plates for this and the other 2 kestrel collages (one of which, it turns out, actually features a peregrine falcon), the sizes and positioning of the plate is different in each piece. This one is 20 x 16."<br />

<br />
The mission this week - move toward a kestrel collage.<br />
<br />
This required A) finishing and printing the kestrel block (check!)<br />

<br />
B) tearing down and marbling the correct size paper (check)<br />
<br />
C) creating a background image, getting it on a polyester lithography plate and printing it (check)<br />
<br />
One issue that came up with the polyester lithography plate is that I made a single plate on the largest size available to me (10 x 15"); however, the collages I'm aiming for are 16 x 20" and 18 x 24." I could have tiled 2 plates on the press bed, but I decided to try something new and faded the image on the plate toward the edges. Then I printed a landscape block over the whole thing and used drawing materials to fill in the edges (below - polyester plate with relief over it on top, and polyester plate with relief and drawing/ painting materials below.) I think it's going to be fine...but I'm still thinking about the best technique for next time. <br />
<br />
Using the polyester plate is a way of combining parts onto a single plate to cut down on the number of collage parts, but I'm still adding individual elements (for example, the little trees in the lower piece.) In theory, I think I could run the paper through the press again with the tree on a separate polyester plate, but I think I still prefer the collage pieces because I can change my mind and move them around.<br />

I think this week was the peak of fall colors and I took soooo many landscape photos!<br />

This one is slightly larger, 12 x 12," and the goal is to have more options from which to make a series.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">New marbled paper with image for plate -<br /> Feline Assistant, Sr. helping establish scale.<br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In trying to place the previous kestrel, I also concluded that these need to be a little bigger, so I marbled paper - 3 sheets of 16 x 20" and 2 sheets of 18 x 24." I made a new polyester lithography plate to use in the background...the only thing is that the larges plates I have are 10 x 15," so I made the plate fade toward the edges so I can fill in parts by hand and (hopefully!) it won't be too jarring. I may also make a block to print on top of it in front (Hmmmmmm.) <br />
<br />
In creature news, I'm so happy my little flock seems to be so well bonded - they eat and sleep together.<br />

As we can see - it was a very pretty tree week! Lots of material for future collage landscapes :) </div>

First - it was my birthday :) ! I traveled to New York City and got to spend some time with my family and eat delicious food. As far as art adventures, I also got to see the exhibitions at the Morgan Library, including this print, one of the greatest large scale woodcuts by Titian, "Submersion of Pharoah's Army in the Red Sea," ca. 1515 (check out the cute and frightened little dog by Moses.)<br />
<br />
I also got to stop by the Central Park Zoo and see the snow leopard, which I hope will inspire me as I get back to working on the snow leopard collage. I also got to photograph the Blue and Gold Macaw as possible source material for upcoming blocks.<br />

Back home, I then had two openings in two days. The first was at <a href="http://www.greenmtn.edu/student-life/arts-culture/visual-arts/" target="_blank">Green Mountain College</a> in Vermont for the show "Printmaking and the Natural World," and the second was "Show of Heads," at <a href="http://www.slowart.com/limner/" target="_blank">Limner Gallery</a> in Hudson.<br />

<br />
<br />
I also added ink and cut out the first kestrel and then put it over a background to see how it would look. I like the kestrel and was able to correct the line that resulted from damage to the block. (This background is way too small for it, but I wanted to at least get an idea of how it might look.)<br />

The next day a piece will opening as part of "Show of Heads," at <a href="http://www.slowart.com/limner/current/index.htm" target="_blank">Limner Gallery</a> in Hudson. The other 7 works that were delivered will be part of a show at <a href="http://thompsongirouxgallery.com/Exhibit_Upcoming.cfm" target="_blank">Thompson Giroux</a>, opening in December. <br />
<br />
Once everything was delivered, I should have cleaned the studio...and I did (a little), but mostly I was excited to get back to carving. I made some changes to the template of the torso of the life scale figure I'm working on (yes, even though I've been working on it for weeks - the more I looked at it, the more I became convinced the right sleeve would fit, so I measured. It does, and so I added it, thereby reducing the total number of blocks needed - yay!) Progress is being made, but it's slow going, so I decided to carve something that could reach completion in the week. As a reward to myself for getting all the work delivered, I decided to carve a kestrel, since raptors are one of my favorite to carve. <br />

It was so tiny I didn't see it when I inspected the block before carving, and it would have been fine...except it went right through the beak. I sanded the block down a little, carved out the background and proofed again. The good news is, I think it's mostly gone in the beak, but the bad news is, I think it's still visible elsewhere. Luckily, I think I still may be able to fix it with mixed media after printing.<br />
<br />
I also struggled with printing this - the fine lines filled in after printing a few times, so I cleaned the block completely and am waiting for it to dry before trying again - fingers crossed.<br />

...though Mini is much more affectionate toward the kittens than Sunny was toward her as a little one - they often stick close together (with Mini in charge, Mo wanting to do whatever she does, and Max following a cautious step behind - and isn't Max cute smelling the roses - my fluffy Ferdinand.) </div>

So far, I've finished 2 collages, but I have enough backgrounds for up to 7. I'm so happy with the way the prints turned out, but...I'd like to see if this technique would work larger. I'm glad I started on the smaller scale to get the hang of it and these pieces are headed to <a href="http://thompsongirouxgallery.com/Exhibit_Upcoming.cfm" target="_blank"><i>En Masse 2018 </i>at Thompson Giroux Gallery,</a> a small works exhibition.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBVXhOatKBAsIWICr4vDiyP0NCFqt4hHTCzmLKHDUMI2jK1NFa-_57sLCoYh0EunZxpq5ROPtBZo27vEyUf0EIkR3FQuFmgY31JcC_W1KZQ5iDdmLXLkLKQ0IIjH11zVIvy5C03QfpMYo/s1600/Klacsmann_10-9_05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="672" data-original-width="672" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBVXhOatKBAsIWICr4vDiyP0NCFqt4hHTCzmLKHDUMI2jK1NFa-_57sLCoYh0EunZxpq5ROPtBZo27vEyUf0EIkR3FQuFmgY31JcC_W1KZQ5iDdmLXLkLKQ0IIjH11zVIvy5C03QfpMYo/s320/Klacsmann_10-9_05.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

Of course, I told myself I was going to focus on working with the (hundreds of) parts I already have printed...then, of course, I decided I needed different pieces and printed new ones (haha.) By the end, the studio was a mess of little pieces of cut paper and non-selected parts everywhere, but I got it all swept up and the parts all re-sorted. Then I framed the piece with the balloons for an upcoming show at <a href="http://www.slowart.com/limner/" target="_blank">Limner Gallery</a>, <a href="http://www.slowart.com/limner/current/upcoming.htm" target="_blank"><i>A Show of Heads</i> </a><br />

In the midst of this, I went on an epic art field trip to see all three branches of the Met before some of the current shows close this week. It was an action packed day, but I got to see so many great shows! "Heavenly Bodies" at the Cloisters and 5th Avenue, and "Obsession: Nudes by Klimt, Schiele, and Picasso at the Met Breuer. I also saw a terrific show of Japanese painting from the Edo period at the 5th Avenue Met - "The Poetry of Nature: Edo Paintings from the Fishbein-Bender Collection." It was an incredible day of art...and then I came home and had to rest for a day.<br />

Max got his grown up collar this week for his 6 month birthday - I chose bright yellow with a bell so I can see and hear him... he;s wearing it in the photo, but, as we can see, it was no match for his spectacular fluff.

This week I was working on a polyester lithography plate. I made the image by digitally layering and combining scans of my relief prints. (There's also scans of part of a map of NY and a 1099 tax form under the grass.) I haven't always had the best success printing multiples of polyester lithography plates, but I'm happy to say that I feel like these turned out well. I think the key was printing on the paper while it was still damp from marbling (however, marbling the paper first meant I really, really didn't want any mis-prints, and luckily, there weren't any - thumbs up!) The goal is for these to become backgrounds for new collages.<br />

In creature news, Honey and I are working on expanding the gesture and command for "bed" to apply to various textile rectangles in different spaces so that, if I'm selected for a fellowship and we're working in an unfamiliar space, she'll be able to recognize her special spot. This is challenging because it involves her being able to combine an action (down-stay) with recognition of a category of differing objects (the various "beds"). But I know Honey can do it because she already understands "ball" as "round objects the human throws," and can apply it to new things (like if a box of new toys arrives and I say "ball," she can pick the ball out from among the toys and bring it to me.)<br />

It was very exciting to see it all photo-ready! It was quite a roller coaster getting there...<br />
<br />
Early in the week, after working toward this piece for more than 2 years, I opened the door to the (one and only kitty-free) room it was in to photograph it and...three little kitties all ran out. (I am still not sure how they got in, and they can't have been in there very long). I closed the door behind them, turned around and...Noooooo! There was a big hole (and some tiny holes). Yes. I cried. <br />
<br />
Not least because I'd been pushing to finish it and was photographing it for a major fellowship application, due in 3 days. I did what any mature, responsible artist would do...I called my parents and cried. Then I went and had an adult beverage with a friend. After taking a pause and listening to some excellent live music with a very kind and sympathetic friend, I came home, had a cup of coffee, and spent all night repairing the damage. Once upon a time, a much younger me had really wanted to be an art conservator and worked as an art conservation technician, never have I been to grateful for that experience, as I was while I repaired and in-painted the background. <br />
<br />
After about 2 hours of sleep, I got up (the Wonderpup poop schedule yields to no one ;) ), and then I remembered that I still needed to finish editing my project statement, photograph the (now repaired) artwork, upload my portfolio, and ask for a letter of recommendation (which is due a week later than my portion of the application, and which I had been on my way to doing, but then put off, in the aftermath of Kittygate when I was unsure whether or not I would be able to repair the piece and apply.) After caring for all the creatures, I went straight to the library and I'm happy to say - application submitted. (Fingers crossed!!)<br />

Since I only have one large wall in the kitty-free room, it had to go up in the other studio. Even though my feline assistants had never before really damaged anything on the wall (I think the chain on the pseduo-tapestry was too tempting and they tore the paper leaping for it.), after Kittygate I put a piece of cardboard over it when I'm not working on it and will need to think about future strategies for kitty-proofing.<br />

A quick kitty story - Mo just had his 6 month birthday and received his grown-up collar. I like for each kitty to have their own color (and bell sound), so I gave him a blue collar to correspond with his kitten collar...but within 24 hours it had gone missing. I put the back up collar - red with a red bell on him while I looked for the missing one. I haven't found it yet, but decided that he looks very dapper in double red. Max is a little younger and hasn't yet outgrown his kitten collar, but I'm thinking that when the time comes for his grown up collar, it may be safety orange with a reflector strip. <br />

I also cleaned and organized the press room and de-fluffed the cover that keeps the press and press blankets kitty-fur free. Mini was not happy about this at first, but then she forgave me when she realized that it wasn't going anywhere and she'd get to re-fluff it.<br />

I always try to make sure to give equal attention to all my creatures, but it's gotten harder to include them all on the blog each week now that we are 5. However, one thing I especially enjoy is how, recently, they've all started to come greet me en masse when I walk in the door, and I managed to get a picture that includes all 5 of us in a single frame (or at least fragments haha.)<br />

Work continues on the drapery block, but I think (*maybe, possibly) that this block is very nearly finished (at least for its first phase of carving). A little of the top left trails off at this point, but in the finished piece, that area will be under the cloak (which will be a separate block), so I don't want to go nuts on it right now, knowing it's going to be covered. This block is too large for my press, and I'm hesitant to travel and rent studio time when I'm not sure the carving is complete, so I think I'll probably try to get a proof by hand on a thin paper so I can get an idea of what it will look like and check to see if it needs more carving.<br />

I also finally (finally!) bit the bullet and glued, bolted, and sewed the borders onto the pseudo tapestry!(!!) This involved turning it upside down and using a hand-held sewing machine that I got for this purpose, and it worked! I feel vindicated because it really does look better with the borders.<br />

Last week I taught a 5 day workshop on linocut, <a href="https://wsworkshop.org/event/indirect-magic-strategies-linocut/" target="_blank">Indirect Magic, at Women's Studio Workshop</a>. I had 5 terrific students, many of whom were carving for the first time. There was a lot of information, and I did my best to approach it step by step so that it wouldn't be too overwhelming. They persevered and did some amazing work (so proud!). With their permission I'm showing their work below:<br />

I am so proud! I'd like to get back into my own work now, but I am truly exhausted. I did manage to deliver the small chimera for the <a href="http://www.slowart.com/limner/current/upcoming.htm" target="_blank"><i>Strange Figurations </i>show at Limner Gallery</a>, opening Sept. 8th the day after I got back (gold star!) and apart from that, I've been doing some moving and cleaning in the studio. <br />
<br />
It seems like my creature family were all fine and well cared for in my absence. Naturally, I missed them and was happy to come to their purrs and smiling faces.<br />

A busy week in Artlandia!<br />
<br />
So...I make a lot of things and sometimes they don't go according to plan. This week started off with one of those times. After having good results transferring a polyester lithography plate to aluminum and etching with copper sulfate for the <a href="http://klacsmann.blogspot.com/2018/07/tiny-stag-plate-2.html" target="_blank">mini deer</a>, I wanted to make the borders for the unicorn pseudo-tapestry with a similar technique. However, things did not go according to plan.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here's what the aluminum plate looked like when I gave up -<br />
on the left, the gaps in the red BIG ground are visible, and<br />
on the right, fewer gaps, but very thin gound.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I prepared the only plate I have that is large enough by filing the edges, polishing, and degreasing (so far, so good). I made polyester lithography plates based on inverses of combined scans of my relief prints (so far so good). The trouble came with getting the polyester lithography plates to print on the aluminum. Basically, they didn't print cleanly enough - there were gaps and thin spots in the BIG ground. This was a problem because every time the print on the aluminum didn't turn out, I had to clean off and degrease the plate again. That wouldn't have been so bad if it was only a single polyester print, but the point was to combine them to get a longer section. So even if I got a decent transfer once, if the second section wasn't perfect, I ended up losing both of them when I degreased the plate.<br />

I tried again and again, but ultimately it was a waste of time and resources, I couldn't get the polyester plate to print darkly and cleanly enough on the aluminum plate. The area of the plate that was complete, but less dense, on the right in the photo, may actually have held up in an etching bath, but ultimately, I didn't want to waste so large a plate in order to find out, so I wiped the whole thing down and gave up for the night.<br />

Before the polyester plates wore out, I decided to print them onto a block as a template in case I decided that the best way to get the borders was to carve them and to confirm that the issue wasn't caused by the polyester plates being spotty (nope - they printed perfectly onto an MDF block on the first try.)<br />

At that point, after more than 8 hours of working on this I was pretty frustrated, and Honey, being a very good dog, came over to lay across my feet. I always like having her near me. At some point while I was cleaning up, I must have dropped a paper with ink on it because I looked down, and there were two spots of ink on her beautiful coat. The ink spots were small and on the ends of her fur, so in hindsight (always so helpful - doh.), I probably should have cut off the ink-stained fur right away, but instead, I panicked and tried to wipe it off. Of course this just made the ink spread. Poor Honey! She was her usual, sweet self as I washed her with her shampoo. After a bath, even though the ink no longer came off on my fingers (I had been worried about Honey licking it), it left giant light gray spots on her fur. And that is when the human cried. Since by then it was after midnight, we all went to bed.<br />
<br />
The next morning, first thing, I washed and brushed the spots again, and then Honey and I went to her favorite swimming place. After lots of swimming and brushing, the ink was (almost completely) gone (whew!) Honey was at maximum happy and her human got in the water with her.<br />

With Honey safe and clean, I took a time out from working on the borders to re-think my approach. I could have printed the blocks I already had in sections and combined them, but that wouldn't add to the stability of the piece. I could have printed the blocks I already had on a single or two sheets by running the paper through the press multiple times, but to get a good result, I would have to register the block perfectly and ink them evenly every single time (and that's not something I thought I could do 12 - 15 times in a row). I could have carved a new block of a longer section, but having already carved all the elements, I really didn't want to commit the time and energy to re-carving the whole combined thing. I could have tried again to print the polyester lithography plate onto an aluminum plate with BIG ground to etch, but since this is a much larger plate than I've ever made with that technique before and it went so spectacularly badly the first time, I didn't think it was likely to lead to a better result on a second go round right now.<br />

What I eventually decided to do was sort of a compromise between the other options - I decided to forget about etching for now and try to get successful polyester lithography prints on paper. The border is 48" long, so I made a 12" polyester lithography plate with the goal of registering and printing it twice per page for a 24" print. I put two borders per page so that they can be cut out for either a matching top and bottom of 24" borders, or the right and left side of a single 48" border. I re-worked the digital file and made a new polyester lithography plate and prepared the paper with a registration line.<br />

<br />
The plate looked great, but I was nervous. I cleaned everything completely and the printing went well. There was a little bit of fingerprinting in the plate near the bottom edge (that's the smudges to the left of center in the photo below), but because it's all outside the image and they're going to be cut out, I decided not to worry about it. Likewise, there is a tiny mark or gap on a few of the prints between the first and second round of printing (which is about a third of the way down in the photo below), but I think it's also minor enough that I can make it near-undetectable with mixed media before collaging the borders in. Overall, I'm going to declare it a victory - thumbs up!<br />

As you might imagine, that took most of my (art) week, but I did work on my photo mission to try to capture the cute fluffiness that is Max. At first, I still captured him mostly looking like a kitten-shaped spot, but then we had a break through when Max and Mo discovered how to jump into the bathtub (where it must have been nice and cool). The white background and reflected light helped, but I think the angle is still a little awkward. Finally, I got a good Max photo in the black and white bed (there may have been minor treat bribery involved). *As you may have noticed, "Max photos," usually means "Max and Mo photos" since they are rarely apart - I didn't separate them to take Max's photo - Mo was there, just out of frame requesting a belly rub. </div>
