Christmas Tree with recycling art. Arbol de Navidad con arte reciclado.

Christmas Tree with recycling art.
Alongside other artists, I was invited to decorate the Poco Heritage Christmas Tree, for the annual festival, at Leigh Square.
ArtFocus, the art group where I am working, was elected. The watchword was that all the ornaments we had to create, they had to be made from recycled materials. In my case I have used paper bags, dryer machine's towels, scraps of wool, fabrics stash and laces, tuna's cans, newspapers, buttons, and a pinch here and a little there, has become this:
Arbol de Navidad con arte reciclado.
Junto con otros artistas fui invitada a adornar el árbol de Navidad para Poco Heritage Christmas Tree Festival, en Leigh Square.
ArtFocus, el grupo de arte donde estoy fue elegido. La consigna era que todos los adornos fueran creados de materiales reciclados. En mi caso usé bolsas de papel, toallitas de la máquina secadora, restos de lana, retazos telas, pasamanería, puntillas, latas de atún, diarios, botones; y un poquito de aquí y otro poquitito de allí, se ha convertido en esto:

Fall Art Show

Fall Show.
 I was exhibiting my artwork in Art Focus Fall Show at Leigh Square Community Arts Village.
 

 It was wonderful share the passion I feel for art with many artists that weekend!


My show was about engraving.  Some Monotype Prints with Chine Collé, Intaglio, Mezzotint, Aquatint, Relieve, Wood Carving, and Screen Print among of them.

Finally, after a busy weekend, at the peace of my home with my babies, the best Artwork of my life.

        
                                                              I love you boys!

Screenprint at Malaspina Printmakers.

Screenprint

 A bunch of great people from all over the World, (Iceland, Poland, Britain, Canada, and I from Argentina), joined Matt Parisien, the guy holding a roller between his hands, and who was in charge to teach Screenprint at Malaspina Printmakers.
 Un montón de gente estupenda de todas partes del mundo, (Islandia, Polonia, Gran Bretaña, Canadá, y yo, de Argentina), nos unimos a Matt Parisien, el chico que sostiene un rodillo entre sus manos, y que fue el encargado de enseñar Serigrafía en Malaspina Printmakers.

 We explored the basics of screenprint, which is a process derived from stencil printing, including the direct stencil methods, photographic based screen printing techniques- inks and modifiers. But,  most of the time, we worked with water-based ink.

 Exploramos los fundamentos de la serigrafía, que es un proceso derivado de la impresión de esténciles, incluyendo los métodos directos de esténciles, la serigrafía basada técnicas de impresión fotográfica, tintas y modificadores.  Aunque, la mayor parte del tiempo, trabajamos con tinta a base de agua.

 Screenprint works very well for photo-based, hand drawn (my favorite), or computer manipulated images: Photoshop, something I must learn in the future.
 La serigrafía funciona muy bien con el proceso fotográfico, dibujo a mano (mi favorito), o con imágenes manipuladas con computadora: Photoshop, algo que debo aprender en el futuro.
