I received a copy of the <a href="http://www.taprootmag.com/">Taproot Magazine</a> with my art in it
in the mail yesterday. There could not be a publication more my cup of tea;
fine art and photography, poems and short stories, articles on generational
beekeeping and making paint from local dye sources, recipes, there is even a
pull out pattern included for a cute tunic. OH, and some how-to’s for rag rugs
and herbal candles. PLUS no
advertisements! PLUS they pay their contributors (in more than free copies). I
am subscribing and you should too. </div>

Last month, after two years of focused nose-to-the-grindstone working and saving, my sweetheart and I purchased 23 acres of heaven near <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://pics2.city-data.com/city/maps/fr7988.png&imgrefurl=http://www.city-data.com/city/Mora-Minnesota.html&h=359&w=422&sz=5&tbnid=A4YJseN9TkmmAM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=106&zoom=1&usg=__SLsGRzBCO7-f3wsd1W-By6LeUiQ=&docid=_zrtyYTyRaLSoM&sa=X&ei=kjeFUtudIamwyQGNnYBI&ved=0CFMQ9QEwBA">Mora, Minnesota. </a><br />
<br />
We have so many good ideas, so much ambition and excitement. There is so much work to do but most of it can't start until spring so until then we get to dream and scheme.<br />
<br />
I declared for myself the ambitious (and most likely lifetime goal) of identifying and documenting in art every species of plant on our property. I bought a couple big fat reference books of Minnesota plants and have begun identifying.<br />
<br />
Goldenrod was first because there was just so much of it and it seemed as good as any place to start. I have found out since that my Grandpa Ed had a fondness for Goldenrod...it may be just a coincidence but it still makes me feel like I am on the right track.<br />

Over the course of a week I made 28 small original paintings of dogs in sweaters barking at snowflakes or stars. I was in heaven. I had to make myself stop and move on. They are mainly headed to the<a href="http://www.soovac.org/"> Soo Visual Arts Centers</a> second <a href="http://www.soovac.org/index.php/shows/view/soolocals_holiday_shop/">SooLOCAL Holiday Shop</a>.<br />
<br />
A few are travelling to <a href="http://www.artstreamstudios.com/">artsream</a> gallery in New Hampshire for a show in December, and a few more art are on their way to <a href="http://www.artstarphilly.com/">Art Star Gallery</a> in Philadelphia. <br />
<br />
I had prints professionally made of my five favorites at <a href="http://smartset.com/">Smart Set Printers</a> here in Minneapolis. They are available in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/amyriceart?section_id=10322628">my etsy store</a>.Amy Ricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07238710130621426670noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28239289.post-66304679683991674562013-03-12T09:35:00.001-07:002013-03-12T09:36:25.465-07:00Exciting News: I wrote a Book!

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1592538290/crafblog-20">Playing with Stencils </a>is a how-to book that aims to teach the reader a new art-making technique. Unlike other stencil books that furnish already made templates and a single idea of what to stencil it on, this book encourages the readers to create their own stencils by teaching. Simple instructions for how-to create a stencil combined with ambitious projects for inspiration makes this book unique. You can <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1592538290/crafblog-20">pre-order your copy now</a>, it will be in stores in May.<br /> <br /><br /></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText">
I didn't want to tell my Grandpa Ed, a sixth generation
dairy farmer I was vegan. When I finally
did, his reaction surprised me. He said he understood. He said he was proud of
me. He said, “It is pretty neat that we live in an age where you have the luxury
(and he emphasized the word luxury) to live such an empathetic lifestyle.” That
was almost 20 years ago. He’s been gone six years this spring. Seed catalogues
and chickens make me think of my Grandpa Ed and lately I've been thinking about
him a lot. He loved chickens. I have a scrapbook he made as a child and it is
full of pictures of chickens. This is a
photo of him and me and Chicken Alfredo.
Chickens liked him too.</div>

I would love to have a couple of chickens, but I live in an apartment in a big city. I work hard so that I can have a lifestyle someday that will allow for another rescue dog and some rescue chickens. Yep, I said rescue chickens.
Every year, domestic fowl, mostly chickens, are impounded by Minneapolis Animal Control. These birds are victims of neglect, abuse and abandonment. Some are the discarded outcome of "nature lessons” for children or after a hobby that no longer holds interest. After their release, <a href="http://www.brittonclouse.com/chickenrunrescue/">Chicken Run Rescue</a> provides the birds with temporary shelter and vet care, locates and screens adopters within 90 miles of the Twin Cities and transports the birds to their new homes.
I have been pondering over how Grandpa Ed would feel about Chicken Run Rescue. I think he would find it both absurd and fascinating. I think he would say it was pretty neat to live in an age where people had the luxury to live an empathetic lifestyle. I think Ed would have been down with chicken empathy.
I recently decided to un-follow all animal rescue pages on facebook because it caused me too much sorrow to not be able to help. Then a wise friend said, “You don’t need to adopt to help, why you don’t use your art and your<br />
audience instead for now?”<br />
<br />

So that is what I will do. In memory of Grandpa Ed and in celebration of an Age of Empathy I will donate 50% of the retail price of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/amyriceart?section_id=13192785">all my art that contains a chicken</a> to <a href="http://www.brittonclouse.com/chickenrunrescue/">Chicken Run Rescue</a>. I have just posted 4 new hand-painted Gocco prints on antique journal pages of song lyrics from the 1930’s. I have more chicken art and will continue to add pieces as they sell.

<div class="MsoNormal">
In the fall of 2009 I found a small antique Line O Scribe
sign press machine at an estate sale. I didn't know what I would do with it, but I bought it. When I called my friend and
mentor that night to tell him what I had found he said, “That’s a game changer.”
He was right. </div>

Sign press machines like this were used in stores to make
posters, signs and tags. It uses movable type like a letterpress but the ink
delivery method is different and they were not made to leave a strong imprint
like a letterpress machine. I played around with it but mostly it was shelved UNTIL</div>

Two winters later I found a giant one just like it at an
antique store. Had I not bought the
small one I would have never even paid attention. I won’t even tell you what I
paid for it because you would hate me. It came with 5 full font sets. It is the
heaviest thing I own next to my car. <br />

way home and it was one of those giant light bulb moments. </div>

<br />
The first time I ever showed my art in a gallery, it was an exhibition curated by <a href="http://yuriarajs.blogspot.com/">Yuri Arajs </a>(Minnesota’s most influential curator according to<a href="http://www.minnesotamonthly.com/media/Minnesota-Monthly/March-2008/This-Way-In/"> this. </a>That was over 10 years ago and not only may I now call Yuri a great friend; he continues to put together art shows and art events in unique ways and places. I have been so lucky to have had the opportunity to be included in all sorts of Yuri produced art events throughout the years and I believe the best is yet to come. Yuri is now the director of the new <a href="http://lunenburgculturalcentre.com/">Lunenburg Cultural Centre</a> in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and I am excited to announce that I will be the first featured artist there late this summer. I spent the past week visiting Yuri and checking out the space to plan the art (and accompanying presentation) for this event. <br />
That bird painting in the upper right---that is from the first gallery exhibition. Yuri bought it. The price tag is still on the back---$90! <br />
