ONE DESIGN BY SUNDAY

Yippie, it is Friday!!  I love Fridays!!  Today is extra special because it is MY BIRTHDAY.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!  :)  No, I am not going to tell you how old I am.  I will always be young at heart! :)  I took an extra day off work so now I have three days to concentrate on screen printing.

My goal is to have shirts printed and online by Sunday.  I am starting with one design printed on one color of shirt.  I can add other color shirts down the road.  The design is already done I just need to print it out on 8.5 x 14 waterproof R-Film.  Then comes the screen.  I will be using a 156 mesh aluminum screen coated with a 1 x 1 layer of emulsion.

Right now I need to mix the diazo into the emulsion and let it sit for 2 hours to let the bubbles release from the emulsion.  While that is sitting I need to wash out some screens.    My new washout room is on hold for a couple weeks so I have to do the screen cleaning in the house. Yuck!   I will be glad when I do not have to drag a house through the house anymore.

Time to get busy!  Later
Jeanette
