Carol L. Myers ~ Mixed Media Artist

Well, here I am on Sunday morning of my working weekend-I am still printing the pages for my little tea menus. I LOVE my Epson printer. And I have found that the Avery full page labels are my best friends!! I wasn’t looking forward to wrestling with freezer paper, so I was prepared to buy as many labels as I needed. It turns out you can keep reusing the labels, and it is SO much easier to stick them to the fabric than to iron and cut freezer paper. I think I’m in love. And they are the right size and feed through the printer like a dream. One more page to print, and I’ve already gotten some of them started. So next comes the assembly.

I’m in my home sewing studio (as opposed to my print and paint and messy studio at the Indianapolis Art Center) with skylights and windows to let the wonderful sunshine in!

And my own special joy-it is the beginning of nesting season, so I can watch the perigrene falcons downtown and the screech owls out in Texas as they raise there feathered families. I’m sure, at some point, that there is a bird series in me. But first, tea menus.

Can’t believe, as usual, that I’ve been this long between posts. I have been working!! I am working on two projects for the new Conrad Hilton that opens next week in downtown Indianapolis. At the end of today, I will have glued ultrasuede corners on the rest of the wooden menu holders that another artist created. Luckily, I only am respsonsible for 1 corner per board, to finish up.

Then this weekend, I’ll be making 36 fabric menus for their Tea menu. I think they are way cool, my design.

AND I’ve been working on haveing Gloria Hanson create a new website for me. The holding page is at www.carollmyers.com . I am VERY excited about that.

Looks like I don’t have a button to upload pics-I’ll do that later.

Also, more on the show in Bloomington, Indiana at Gallery North.
