Katie Valencia Final Post
Emily Schumann: Update

Okay so as of right now, I have almost all of my oil paintings in progress, or at least done to a point where I know exactly where I'm going to go with them. I figured out what to do with the underwater one -- it will be a bluefin tuna snagged in a fishing net and interacting with a diver. I think compositionally it will work much better than what I had before. I also have a new rhino piece which centers on the plight of the White Rhino, of which there are only 6 left in the world. Additionally, I'd like to complete one that focuses on birds, but I still have yet to narrow down a species for that.
My cards are coming along nicely -- I have all of them drawn and 23 fully painted (I might go back in and add more layers of acrylics once I finish all of them, but that will happen over break). I was talking to peers yesterday who suggested displaying them on a poker table that I can manufacture and arrange the cards by "hands" on the table. I really like that idea and would like to make up some sketches over break and possibly put something together. Other than that, I think I'm in pretty good shape. I'm going to tackle my two sculptural pieces over Christmas and dive back into the oil paintings in the spring.
I'm really excited about the body of work as a whole, and think it will come together nicely.

Sarah Logue Update!
Hey y'all! I've been working really hard on my little paintings. I think they're a great break from the big pieces.
The large piece with the parasites is the farthest along. The large piece with the brood parasites is the one I will be focusing on next.

I've basically been doing the same thing for the past few weeks which is experimenting with different developing techniques. These are only a few of the prints I've made doing so but there are far too many to post. I've been experimenting with the use of negative and positive spaces. Unfortunately I will not have too much new work because I ran out of paper for the time being. But I am working towards finalizing my pieces because I feel more secure in what I'm doing now.

Nic Silvia- Finished Painting and what's left!
Bad pano of the finished painting.
Single shot of the finished painting. A little more detail is visible in this one.
3 completed panels for the frame and some pallets that I haven't gotten a chance to disassemble.
I need to make 4 more panels, buy and install the hinges and buy and install the rest of the grommets in the canvas.
Once that is finished, I can hang the canvas and figure out what I am doing with the bag situation. I am looking forward to playing with Mrs. Silk's idea with the fishing line, as well as the addition of branches onto the frame for the show.
Over break, I plan to order the last bits of hardware and make a few small (less than 12"x12") pen and ink forest paintings. I don't really like how the walnut ink is working with the pen nibs, and the pen nibs allow for much greater detail than brushes, so I may switch over to india ink for these.
The very last thing that I need to do is to balance the Ph, since the ink was preserved in vinegar (I'm less worried about the rubbing alcohol). From my research so far, the affordable option is to use a baking soda-water wash, which may leave residue stains. The expensive option is to use an aerosol "Make It Acid-Free" spray made by Krylon and not found in stores, so a second shipment will take time.
