\"Patterns<\/a>

Hand-built in 1994, patterns are being tweaked on Clarissa’s old-fashioned light table before they are copied on her Epson printer<\/p><\/div>\n

I use my Macbook for doing layout of designs to be printed on my large format Giclee’ printer, and I know that I can scan and duplicate small patterns, but golly, gee golly, I still use my wonderful light table for tracing patterns and other images worth duplicating.\u00a0 There’s just something real about going through the motions of duplication on hard-copy paper in hand!<\/p>\n

Really? \u00a0People still use light tables and overhead projectors!?!? \u00a0How’s that? \u00a0We’ve got computers and printers to do the jobs!!!<\/p>\n

Well, call me from the old school where teaching a new dog old tricks can only go as far as the bone can be thrown, and some of us just can’t throw that far anymore! \u00a0So, sure this dog has learned new tricks like how to turn on a computer and where to push play on Netflix and “bookmark” this page to order more El Naturalista boots before they go up in price!<\/p>\n

However, this dog still prefers to project the design on the plastic transparency placed on the overhead projector platform which projects the image onto the wall up yonder! \u00a0And this dog still prefers to trace the other half of the design by hand tolerating the bright, blinding florescent lights\u00a0below.<\/p>\n

Like I said, I can only throw the new bones so far; because old bones are familiar, I will continue to dig them up and out and naw on them affectionately.<\/p>\n

\"One<\/a>

One of Clarissa’s most trusted tool, the old-fashioned over head project made by 3M Company<\/p><\/div>\n

“Clarissa’s Studio” is a 7-part series showing the 7 areas of Clarissa’s studio where I work full-time and live part of the year in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.<\/p>\n

Over the next three months (starting this past May),\u00a0 I will introduce you to various parts of my humble 700 sq.ft. sanctuary divided into sections. \u00a0Here are the parts of\u00a0\u201cClarissa\u2019s Studio Series\u201d:<\/p>\n
