So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it.

I'm really excited to be in my screen printmaking class. For one it will be a lot less labor intensive than my first print class and second we get to use at the least 6 colors versus shades of black. So far all we have done is build our frames and seen demos on how to print. And every time the professor is showing us something I am afraid to get my hopes up because my possible faulty screen. Why might it be faulty you ask? Well we as art major/minors get the opportunity to make our own screen frames to take with us for future printing adventures, so last week we were at the task of putting these said frames together. Once the time came to stretch the screen over the frame we had to find a partner to help the other out and my ONLY friend in that class chose this guy (who happened to be our previous nude model from last semester) to be her stretching partner instead of me. RUDE. I look around and suppose this other girl from my drawing will be nice enough to be my partner. Note that this girl is all of 90 lbs and has maybe uttered 5 words to me. OH AND has talon like nails. So from the get go the future does not seem good and to make this story shorter she did a CRAP JOB at stretching my screen. The professor was like, "hmmm yeah I'm not sure this is going to work". Because you can't have a loose screen or your image will be moving around the place. And it's not like I can just take the screen off and do it again, I will probably need to go buy a new for like 30 dollars. All because of this girl! I can't even look at her. I should go poke a hole her perfectly taut screen.




This is how I feel about that situation.

I'm going home this weekend and hopefully will get all the things done that I need to do. I need to do a Dick Blick run! Be prepared mom!
