...is cutting paper.
I'm finally getting started with my new prints, and of course I haven't a clue yet what I'll be printing. Step 1 is always trimming the paper. Some people hate this part, but I find it quiet and meditative, and gets me in the mood for making prints. I'm hoping to make a couple of new prints to enter into the Middle East exchange that Print Arts Northwest has set up, and that has a particular paper size specified, which is why I'm cutting paper without knowing what I'll be printing. In either case, I'm hoping to do a lot of experimentation anyhow, so there will be lots of unknowns, even after I start printing.
Worked on Rebecca's web site some more, here's an updated mockup of the graphics.

I'm never sure if I prefer the creative, decision-making part of making things, or the long hours of mindless tedium in-between.
I wouldn't have picked quiltmaking if I was averse to tedium, though.
Isn't that like asking which one of your children you prefer?
Start of the philosophy minute:
Without the creative part, the tedium would be pointless; but without the tedium, the creative part might become thoughtless -- we all need those times when our bodies do their thing and our minds are free to ponder and be thoughtful.
OK, end of the philosophy minute.
That was a pretty good philosophy minute.
