This morning rolled around early for Jamie and I:  neither of us slept well last night.  I think we were both keyed up about our preparation for the Make-It-University workshops and Open Studios, not to mention that I had to make 3 large sheets of gelatin for monoprinting last night!

I cut the gelatin sheets into 5-inch squares this morning, sandwiched them between sheets of waxed paper, and stacked them into milk cartons (Jamie's idea-genius!) for transporting to the workshop.  We placed them in an igloo cooler.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they are still useable on Friday for my workshop.

I have so much stuff for use in the workshops/open studios it is insane.  Let's hope I have what I actually need.  I toted a large suitcase out here that I have nicknamed "the beast".  Dealing with it reminds me why I normally travel with one carry-on bag!

More photos will follow throughout the show.....
