Boston Handmade Downtown Crossing Gallery!

From November 28 through December 28, over 30 local artisans will be exhibiting our handmade arts, crafts and wares at our Downtown Crossing retail gallery at 505 Washington Street in Boston.

We're busy prepping and painting, and while I don't have any photos of the space, fellow BH members Nancy McCallum and Jessica Burko have some great photos at http://nancyrosetta.blogspot.com/2008/11/renovations-have-begun.html and http://bostonhandmade.blogspot.com/2008/11/boston-handmade-downtown-is-on-its-way.html.

Be sure to come and shop handmade for the holidays!

Digital collages inspired by gelatin prints


So the digital girl in me has taken over this weekend. I had some minor surgery late last week (very minor, and mostly annoying) so I have been having a restful time photoshopping. You might remember the gelatin prints I made on fabric not too long ago. I had photographed them in various positions, so I decided to see what kind of digital collages I could make with them, and here are a couple. I added in a layer of trees from photos I took over the summer. I have several of these collages done, and am playing with some more.
