A new cat and art things

I've not been feeling so hot for the last few number of days; I'm not entirely sure why, but it most likely stems from my lack of enough sleep

Dumb question: How does one screen print?

[deadringrancor]

Okay:

1) Buy materials, including a screen, which is like a screen door screen, except made with a very finely woven silk (or synthetic).

2) Spread photo emulsion on the screen; when it's dry it becomes light sensitive. Put a transparency on the screen with your design on it (backwards). The black area of the design will block light, while the clear areas will cause the emulsion underneath to react and harden.

3) After the screen has been exposed, you wash out the softer emulsion.

4) Put the screen on the canvas, and spread ink all over it with a squeegee, the ink will go through the clear screen (where the emulsion was washed away) and stick on whatever is beneath.

Pretty easy, generally.

She's more adorable in Jen's pictures than she is in those adoption photos.

Ugh.

We had an hour-long argument discussion about what the name the dog.

I think her name is ok. It suits her and she comes when called. I don't want to switch too much up for her.
