The silly season is upon us and that means art markets galore! We welcomed Zara to our family in June and so I've had some time out to concentrate on family.<br />
My <a href="http://us8.campaign-archive1.com/?u=632f027ab49e20a8860eb38ec&id=bf23545880&e=[UNIQID]" target="_blank">November eNews</a> outlines the markets I'm doing in the lead up to Christmas and my big Society6 shop sale.<br />

Hope you have a safe and happy Summer.<br />

<br />
I am giving away one of my 'Mermaid's Coin' limited edition collagraph prints. I have only made 10 of these and that is all there will ever be. They are all hand-painted and unique. I even named my art business Mermaid's Coin after I read that it was one of the names given to sand dollars found on the beach.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h4>
The Process</h4>
Making the print is a multi-stage process. I come up with my design for a print and when I'm happy with it, I transfer it onto my printing plate. Then the plate gets sealed and then etched. Then comes the printing. I ink up the plate and put it through the press with my artist quality paper. When it is dry, I set to work bringing it to life with watercolours.<br />

<h4>
The Print</h4>
<div>
This print depicts a sand dollar and is printed in black ink then tinted with watercolours in turquoise, aqua and periwinkle. It measure approximately 10cm x 10cm and is signed and numbered by me, the artist.</div>
<div>
It is protected by a cut mat board, all ready to be framed. It is valued at $90. (There's only a couple left in my <a href="http://www.mermaidscoin.etsy.com/" target="_blank">etsy store</a>)</div>

It's been a long time coming, but this was my first weekend away from both Rowan and James since Rowan was born. James and I spent a week in Bali recently, but it was great to escape for a girls' weekend.<br />
It was classic Lancelin. Complete with flies, a crazy holiday house and all of the weather.<br />

Our house was absolutely classic. We tend to stay in the same place, so we tried somewhere different this time. Right across from the beach. And everything about it was an after thought. The front lounge was a deck that had been closed in. The front bedroom was the verandah, that'd been closed in. The bathroom is kinda in the kitchen.... to get to the third bedroom you actually go outside and up some stairs. And the fourth? Back down those stairs, out the back gate, through the garage-cum-bbq-area and past the laundry. Oh, and it's tiled. So it was great. Very cosy though.<br />
<br />
It was meant to be windy aaaaall weekend. When we book these trips, months in advance so everyone is free, we don't know what the weather will be like. So the weather was naff. We stayed up super late on Friday night, except for Tania, who wakes up at 5am and is tired at 8:30... So we weren't in a hurry to leap out of bed early to race to onshore slop. As it turned out, it was pretty good fun!<br />

This is what greeted us. I took the 5'6 mini simmons and wondered if I'd even catch anything. As it was, we all had some fun rides and the reforms went all the way in to the beach. Managed to do some halfway decent duckdives - haven't done any in months and months as I'm always on the longboard.</div>

So everything changed and this huge rip developed which is was paddling around in for half an hour trying to get in. But I went and had a cup of tea with some guys on the reef and they pointed me in the right direction to get in.</div>

We had our customary BBQ bacon fry-up when we got back to Casa del Escher. We had a fun afternoon surf, did the trip to the shops and I squeezed in some geeky sewing before we walked to the pub. We look like a bunch of bogans (below) but I promise we're not. (They were next door at the house with the "peck deck" out front.</div>

<br />
The weather came in on Sunday morning, although Lancelin missed the brunt of it. It wasn't worth the 80km round trip to wedge. We were super lazy and hung out and tried to stay warm. The deck/lounge leaks. We braided each others' hair, had a spa, wandered around in our jocks, but there was no pillow fighting.<br />

Painting your board can give it a new lease in life, it's fun and will guarantee it is unique out in the water. I planned this post about 2 years ago and am finally getting around to it! So many photos to sort through made me procrastinate. And, you know, having a baby, starting your own business, and a few other things!!<br />

Here's my first longboard that I bought in Noosa on a trip to Queensland in 2009. Fitting three longboards and two people into a campervan was an adventure, I can tell you! It was second hand when I bought it and a few years on I didn't have any reservations about having a go at painting it.<br />
<br />
Here's what ya do...<br />
<br />
<b>1. Prep work</b><br />
First you need to remove the wax from where you'll be painting. All of it! See my post: <a href="http://www.crystalvoyager.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/removing-wax-from-your-board.html" target="_blank">Removing wax</a>.<br />

<b>2. Sanding</b><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR-a3uutgyKlrllUSQmVS88puxHUw_vlQGLbt1F53Xbh9Vo34mYbs8F7XHgXBt30dB8L5buC8bWgyBmLBkpvP8PPAw4reJNapQlIHRqX1LMMTXfiZS2Aw7XJaf_mSdvCp-5akA-JGQu1Ax/s1600/surfboard1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR-a3uutgyKlrllUSQmVS88puxHUw_vlQGLbt1F53Xbh9Vo34mYbs8F7XHgXBt30dB8L5buC8bWgyBmLBkpvP8PPAw4reJNapQlIHRqX1LMMTXfiZS2Aw7XJaf_mSdvCp-5akA-JGQu1Ax/s1600/surfboard1.jpg" height="211" width="640" /></a>You need to rough up the surface of the board in order for the paint to stick. Finished boards are sealed and buffed to be glassy smooth. The paint needs a tooth to adhere to. Don't go grabbing your dad's 80 grit sandpaper. The fibreglass needs a fine paper, around 240 should do it. Sand every surface that will be painted until the glossy sheen is removed.<br />

If sections of the deck will be unpainted, cover those sections with newspaper and tape it down. Spray paint gets everywhere. Plastic bags can be used to tape weird shaped areas. Tape along the edge for an airtight seal.</span><br />

5. Spraying</b></div>
<div>
Work in a well ventilated area if possible. And take regular breaks. It is worth buying a ventilator mask - around $35 - with a filter for fumes.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOXXOVjl0ztOQEBf27-vDWKOHD18MA9ajdsm0BKenGLzK9jLh4sYnLFxtvMwvsE_mdlWsk9k1mWK533xZwzrxkJ9nmd4cvgImMv79lJfi08iwVtTfXTmcQ_62p4dkPfeiB9in9zxwekmSq/s1600/Surfboard4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOXXOVjl0ztOQEBf27-vDWKOHD18MA9ajdsm0BKenGLzK9jLh4sYnLFxtvMwvsE_mdlWsk9k1mWK533xZwzrxkJ9nmd4cvgImMv79lJfi08iwVtTfXTmcQ_62p4dkPfeiB9in9zxwekmSq/s1600/Surfboard4.jpg" height="212" width="640" /></a>Things I have learned...<br />
DO<br />
* Read the instructions on the can.<br />
* Use the same brand of paint for all colours.<br />
* Shake cans well and for the amount of time listed on the can.<br />
* Apply several thin coats rather than one thick one.<br />
<br />
DON'T<br />
* Paint when it is raining or humid - it does weird things to the paint<br />
* Paint when it is over 30C degrees - different paints stipulate acceptable temperatures.<br />
* Put too much paint on at once. You can't fix runs. Wait a few minutes and apply another thin coat.<br />
<br />
There are several great brands of paint around. Most of them aren't any more expensive than what you'd find in a hardware store, but they're better for this kind of job. <a href="http://molotow.com.au/" target="_blank">Molotow</a> are great. Rich pigment, acrylic based, and UV stabilised. In Australia, check out <a href="http://www.thebutchershop.com.au/" target="_blank">The Butcher Shop</a> for all your supplies.<br />
<br />
If you are going to get really fancy, you can buy different nozzles to allow for a wider or more focussed spray. If you're using a lot of stencils, the nozzle that comes with decent cans is fine.<br />
<br />
Because my board already had bold blocks of colour, I covered this up with a couple of light coats of white first.<br />
<br />
There is nothing like seeing a pro to help you learn. Check out <a href="http://youtu.be/Ollp0IMvi7A" target="_blank">this video</a> of Dan Duggan at work. It will give you an idea of the distance for spraying and other details.<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />
Molotow have a great website with tutorials about spraying and using paint pens, and extra info about their products. <a href="http://molotow.com.au/" target="_blank">http://molotow.com.au/ </a><br />
<br />
<b>6. Adding detail</b><br />
Once the spray paint is good and dry, you can add details with <a href="http://www.poscart.com.au/" target="_blank">Posca pens</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim20BZjeIWySbpNKEDm8ag9nj_9fRQBWjdXvhonkAL8X6fJ4Se72EZJzhmU9d2yEANUu-6D-AEz-XNfzNuVbG1eprMw6XWkMDxFLivNTPocQ0pmH1Pxep3Iog8-V9dxdDwlmgw99Na_Hb3/s1600/Surfboard7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim20BZjeIWySbpNKEDm8ag9nj_9fRQBWjdXvhonkAL8X6fJ4Se72EZJzhmU9d2yEANUu-6D-AEz-XNfzNuVbG1eprMw6XWkMDxFLivNTPocQ0pmH1Pxep3Iog8-V9dxdDwlmgw99Na_Hb3/s1600/Surfboard7.jpg" height="212" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>7. Sealing</b><br />
Belton make a great, non-yellowing, UV stabilised clear spray paint. Use this to seal your work. Work somewhere with good light, so you can see where you've sprayed and no dust/cat hair/dog/toddler or anything else that is going to foul up your hard work.<br />
<br />
Again, don't do this when it is hot or raining. A cloudy clear coat is aggravating, to say the least.<br />
<br />
Move quickly and apply several light coats. You only need to wait for 5 minutes between coats. Build up the paint slowly, rather than rushing and getting gluggy runs down your board.<br />
<br />
This coat is the only thing standing between your masterpiece and the saltwater, sand and sun. If you're doing nice, light coats, then you might need 7 coats for it to be good and sealed. Use your judgement. It should look glossy and even when you are finished.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Finishing off</b><br />
Once everything is dry, remove your masking tape and clear spray can nozzles by holding them upside-down. Give your paint a good couple of days to cure before waxing that baby up and getting it wet. Surfs better, doesn't it?<br />

I have just started making these little beauties and am having loads of fun. I now have a selection for sale on my Etsy store or you can always ask for a custom design if you don't see something to suit your surfboard. What's more, these fins are made from 100% recycled material, to make you feel extra good.<br />

They have some real, grass roots articles and videos on building your own boards, handplanes, living in a camper van and being more self-sufficient, or surf sufficient, as they put it.<br /><br />Read it here: <a href="http://www.korduroy.tv/blog/2013/exhibitionists-hannah-katarski" target="_blank">http://www.korduroy.tv/blog/2013/exhibitionists-hannah-katarski</a><br /><br />Rowanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00668374291044131195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386653973553143474.post-48202589985328746312013-09-28T09:51:00.000+08:002018-03-09T19:49:17.781+08:00New artwork on Society 6<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIqPUoYxQBAMy2ruB3pezJCGwxPx21OyGMK6k-uMN6ZMV6YSZdJYNzPdljly-vVy0ebFmpI-Ned_KRBB5J0vc261ivQSLr0opWFf4ESa2bNE9bTstrcixZkrt-ggMX_QnuEOILryo5aYA/s640/blogger-image-8378255.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIqPUoYxQBAMy2ruB3pezJCGwxPx21OyGMK6k-uMN6ZMV6YSZdJYNzPdljly-vVy0ebFmpI-Ned_KRBB5J0vc261ivQSLr0opWFf4ESa2bNE9bTstrcixZkrt-ggMX_QnuEOILryo5aYA/s640/blogger-image-8378255.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">New prints, t-shirts and smart phone cases online now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Visit: www.society6.com/HannahKatarski</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Rowanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00668374291044131195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386653973553143474.post-73804456908739878962013-09-28T09:43:00.001+08:002018-03-09T19:49:17.891+08:00New artwork up on Society6<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifri66kLHO-tzAQb5plboP5cH2MRl8wHbuZ8ffdnxS6IXRnYPzew6GRmTvdAbjDcvAbYJqQ1hjxEifUdhsoQWy03-nscqOHPjNVXBijw1cT1f-QkLjUmG8WW4Zk5dKPgwoqF3EzY_IKEPB/s640/blogger-image--294718365.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifri66kLHO-tzAQb5plboP5cH2MRl8wHbuZ8ffdnxS6IXRnYPzew6GRmTvdAbjDcvAbYJqQ1hjxEifUdhsoQWy03-nscqOHPjNVXBijw1cT1f-QkLjUmG8WW4Zk5dKPgwoqF3EzY_IKEPB/s640/blogger-image--294718365.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For t-shirts, prints and more vists:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">www.society6.com/HannahKatarski</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>Rowanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00668374291044131195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386653973553143474.post-23237853167693478492013-08-29T23:18:00.000+08:002018-03-09T19:49:17.688+08:00Society 6My photography is now up on Society 6!

Loads of grommets and gromettes out. One guy, about 35, 6'ish, was catching loads on his green mini mal. Instead of sitting right out the back waiting for the one set wave every 30 minutes, he sat on the inside and caught about a dozen waves while I watched. Then he hopped out, climbed the stairs, unlocked the pink cruiser and peddled off up the main strip in his wetsuit. :)</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJYIFdgmk96EmlFEtpQzdbVDd7nRiMdoUsGlvq_WgM8GQjy6YH-pB5DEDG03g7CH_qOII7SA4fojE1jYDd6h9ttgklw2JHVfc_Of3DxYUXN8X6q-UphsfJEY8ACYmhbEegmWs6-F6mlVTt/s640/blogger-image--1611882404.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJYIFdgmk96EmlFEtpQzdbVDd7nRiMdoUsGlvq_WgM8GQjy6YH-pB5DEDG03g7CH_qOII7SA4fojE1jYDd6h9ttgklw2JHVfc_Of3DxYUXN8X6q-UphsfJEY8ACYmhbEegmWs6-F6mlVTt/s640/blogger-image--1611882404.jpg"></a></div></div>Rowanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00668374291044131195noreply@blogger.com0
