Several times thought of giving up, missed a couple of classes, rested more and only 4 weeks more - i will only enrol in 1 class per week from now on. Have nearly finished making frame, drawing starting to improve again, finally got a screen print to work and in next week's last etching class he will show me how to photo etch the sleeping child drawing that worked well in screen printing - i was disappointed with results of hand etching which came out to lightly and he couldnt tell me why (the lines on the paper showed i pressed hard enough and i left in acid long enough.) It's anoisy dirty class so glad it's ending.

| Screen print worked so printed on test paper, good textured paper, cotton, vests then went toclass storeroom to take off one ofmy tops to print on as screen emulsion may have disintergrated by next time. Got to use urea this time to thin some ink. Fortunately it was oderlous and clear. |

The shirt looks fantastic! I can't wait to see what else you do. I really have to act my act together to do some screen printing, I have no excuse really, and now I have seen your top, it inspires me to just get stuff out and have a go.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the drawing and the neck tendons, I suspect learning when enough is enough is not that easy. It is like that with quilting too.
You did the card players before didn't you?
Keep at it with the classes, it will end soon enough and then you will miss them!
