So this week started off a little slow. It’s the first week after my wife’s first chemo treatment. She took off running, even though she was a little down. So I started working on the Sacred Arrow shirts. There were over 300. Also it is a really good cause, they raise money making and selling jewelry and shirts to help get essential oils for cancer patients. Please check them out for some great stuff for yourself. www.sacredarrowjewelry.com
I also got the chance to print my litho stones. Here they are getting cleaned off and...

So after a few tries I feel a little more confident in my use of the solar plates. The key I have found is direct sunlight and very little time.

Not really an art post, but it really makes me miss Italy.
