BAM! Thanks LLT! :)

Always a pleasure to see you post Wendy. :)

Welp, I have the prints back and am busy assembling them into protector bags with foam core backers. The next step is to make a certificate of authenticity to put in each bag.

My dad helping me cut the foam core boards to the right size.

Easy does it! Giclee prints are incredibly fragile, and can be easily scratched. After the first few I decided to put on gloves to put the prints in the bags... better safe than sorry.

Putting a stack of assembled prints away till I get the certificates done. Yes, I still have an exacto knife in my mouth. :wink:

Stack 'O' prints waiting....

After I get the certificates done, I have to contact the theatre and arrange a pickup rendezvous. This has certainly been an interesting experience, and I am excited to make my own prints to sell of other paintings now. Which brings me to something a lot on my mind lately: my job and how much it is cutting into my art time. I seriously think I am going to give an ultimatum; let me clean only ONE place instead of two or I am going to have to leave. I know it will cut my already meager paycheck in half, but its seriously making me a little crazy to not have the energy or time to create. The plan for this job to begin with was to have a part time job to leave time for art, but the graveyard hours that have been extending more and more lately are really sapping me of all energy to do ANYTHING. This is no way to live.

So my friends, until we cross those desert sands again...adieu.
