It does seem like an excellent way to get your name around to galleries. I think I will try it for a while at least. Thanks Gregori

I joined also quit a while back but it was for another business and I didn't care for it- it turned into something like Facebook where people were talking about where they were gong- what they were doing at the time.......I don't know- you can always try it and see if the Art part of it is good. A lot of it is people looking for jobs or connecting with sales people so it might be fine for what you want it for. I canceled mine. Let us know if it works- I would rather be on a smaller, more focused site than on Facebook. I'm there but I look so infrequently because I can't stand all the little TWITTER type stuff going on that I have to get a new password every time I try and log in. They are so picky- if you don't get on within a month or two you have to fuss with a new password and I'm running out of them! If Rev G says it good for Galleries and connecting with artists then I guess you might as well try it. Just be careful who you let in as a friend- just like Facebook it can become a mess.

Hey Wendy, I was listening to CBC raidio today and they were cautioning people on useing this and other net works like face book. The pirvicey issues are the problem and you need to really study the sites policys be for you give away your info. On the other hand my hubby uses it as a tool for bisness in the hi tec world and fins it very usefull for that.. Sorry about the bad spelling!

Thanks for the heads up Heather. The privacy thing could be a definate issue, especially because on Linkedin you are giving up a lot of personal info. But on the other hand, we put our personal contacts on business cards.

A friend invited me to Linkedin, so I did open an account, but haven't really made use of it. I am, however, actively using Facebook. Social media is the way that much of society is communicating, so I feel it's important for any business (and that includes artists who make a living with their art) to be a part of it. That said, privacy is a reasonable concern and I am careful not to divulge private information, such as my real birthday, etc. I am open with any data that I would put on my website or business card.
I think with common sense, Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter and other forms of social media are invaluable tools and you should definitely consider using one or all of them. I think it's also important to learn how to use them effectively (something I am still learning), or it's just a waste of time. Rather than just posting things like, "on my way to the grocery store" or "going to make dinner now", be prepared to engage people and build relationships and I think you will find it a great networking tool.

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
