I’ve been getting more and more excited about making my own screen printed tee shirts. Did you miss that post?<\/a> I read all of the comments from the original post with instructions, and besides the Modge Podge and Speedball ink, I think I can bankroll this new endeavor entirely through thrift stores. I’ve seen quite a few embroidery hoops in my day, but I never bought them because I never knew I’d be making my own screen prints. Uh, the agony of life.<\/p>\n

I’m torn between fulfilling my duty as a volunteer at the Waukegan Public Library tonight by shelving childrens books, and calling in and driving immediately to the thrift store to see if I can find an embroidery hoop or two, some sheer curtain material, and perhaps a shirt or two to print on. Plain butter tee shirts<\/a> aren’t on my radar because I’ve become too snobbish about them, but now – NOW – they are going to be more precious than, well, $.50 shirts that don’t feel like butter.<\/p>\n

Since I don’t plan on actually printing anything yet (I’m knitting a sweater for a very tall brother) I can probably wait. Karmically<\/a>, I’m much better off.<\/p>\n

Actually, I love shelving books. I’m getting up to speed on the Dewey system, and every once in a while, I’ll see a book that stops me in my tracks. Por exemplo, John’s Secret Dreams<\/a> is a biography of John Lennon … for third graders. I also got distracted by a book about breakdancing written in 1985, but it doesn’t seem to be in print anymore, nor can I find a good link to it. Damn shame, I say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
