So, I'm back for tonight or maybe a little longer because I am bored silly.

SILLY bored.

Tell me what is up with you, fools.

[phoenix]

why hello.

[EMMAh]

You didn't tell me what's up??

Have I missed anything crazy? Did Cantank come back?

[phoenix]

nothing is up really.. or exciting. I'm doing some design whatnot for some biz cards and post cards and things like that, and posting on here.

What about yourself?

and, probably..

[EMMAh]

Well, lets see.

I am on summer vacation, and still unemployed. Kiddies, never suit your job unless you have another lined up!

Lately I've just been trying to keep myself busy with sewing, making jewelry, and I wanna get around to making some t-shirts.

SYG is very slow right now, it seems. I should have come at a better time.

[phoenix]

nice emma, you should post some of your stuff? or have you in the art thread.. I'll go look. Today I was going to sew a lot, but I'm out so it wont happen.

what kind of t shirts do you want to make? print them or 'other' ?

yeh, syg is a bit slow of late.

[EMMAh]

I have not posted anything in the art thread, but that's a good idea.

My fingers have been fucked from all the little crafts I have myself doing.

I would love to have a silk screen to make up some shirts, but blah, that is too good to be true. So I make them with fabric paint.

[viewtiful_alan]

I'm still hatin on abortions and raping albanians.
The usual.
Also.. I'm quite high.. and watching yo gabba gabba... so nice.

[pbradley]

Boredom is never your own fault, it's always everyone else's.

[phoenix]

screens can be a little expensive at first, but they are worth it. You should be able to pick up something around A4 for $30.. and A3 for maybe $70. My screen has lasted me 7 years + now without needing the silk/nylon changed. I've printed over a hundred shirts and such since then.

The more expensive part is the inks really.. but I just have primary colours, white, black, and a nice purple. You can buy a lot of really nice metallic pigments now to add that turn out awesome too. I've never bought photo emulsion either, becuase THAT is ridiculous expensive, and would mean a lot more wear on my screen. I just stencil everything and mask and block edges.


so yeh, I say spend the money on a screen. It will last you a lot longer than most art supplies you pay for..

[EMMAh]

Check out the art thread.

You are making me jealous with all this silk screen talk, Phoenix. The shirt I made in the art thread, took three coats of fabric paint. Three!!! It got sloppy after a while haha, but whatever I guess?

When I get a job (which I hope is sometime soon), I'm definitely picking up a silk screen.

Viewtiful_Alan shouldn't talk about the weeds when I don't really have any. I have enough for two pinners or one good joint. I want the good joint now, but it isn't a wise choice. I have to save one pinner for tonight, and the other for tomorrow. Gahhh, sad times. Need cash (once again)

PBradley, your logic is flawed. But carry on thinking that way if you wish.

My logic is sarcastic.

[EMMAh]

No? Really?

[pbradley]

A lot of your posts sound very confrontational. Looking to pick an online fight? Well, not me.

I'm looking for a Star Trek orgy.

hi emmah :-)

cantank is back for a spell. she is now "satan". everyneurotic came back like the same day as well.

[EMMAh]

I AM JUST BORED.

Perhaps I'll fuck off for a smoke or something.

Enjoy sex with the trekkies. I'm sure they're into kinky shit. Kinkier than just being a trekky.

I stole my silk screen from high school. heh. well.. it was a 'I'm taking this when I finish..' conversation with my art teacher.. who replied 'no, yr not'... 'yeh, I am, it's fine, it will go to a good home'.. 'grrrr..' *wraps up silk screen in newspaper and walks out*

The stencil one is pretty good though even with fabric paint.. but yeh they are time consuming. In 2007 I did some shirts hand stenciled through netting for a t shirt exhibition.. They were SO frustrating, but the result is really different so it was kind of worth it. I wish I'd taken photos because I sold them all but one, and it's probably the least interesting one of them all.

[EMMAh]

That's too bad I try to take picture of most of my creations, because they always disappear or I give them to friends.

Good going on stealing the silk screen though, I don't even think my old school had one. The new school definitely doesn't haha.

For the shirt I made stencils for some parts just to get things looking right, and then I free handed the rest (like the chicks face, Black Flag, random little spots)

Show me some of your silk screen shirts??
