This morning I woke up feeling really bummed.
Seriously---I had a frown on my face that just wouldn't leave.
It was a smile turned upside down.

And it was really grey and wet outside.
And I couldn't go to museums (or go eat pizza) with Andrea G. because I had to work.

But now I'm better.
Just sorta out of it.

We got the spinning wheel (a Lendrum) at the studio this weekend. But I realized that I don't have any fiber on hand here in New York. So, I bought about 8oz last night on Etsy so that I can practice.

Apparently making yarn with a wheel is easier than using a spindle. We'll see---I'm skeptical because a spindle is pretty dang easy.

Here's the screenprinting press we got last week or so:

silkscreen press

It's fun and convenient to use.
But it always looks so depressing in there.

I printed on a dress today:

MOI JE MOI JE NOI SE

It's a spring-summer dress.
I think it looks more babydoll, though.

Maybe I just want it to look babydoll.
You know how I love that kinderwhore look. (Seriously, I wish more girls dressed like that.)



I also came across this shirt the other day while I was shopping at Goodwill:

ITHACA IS GODAWFUL

Of course it didn't come already appliquéd.
That's courtesy of yours truly.




P.S.
If you haven't mailed back your slide yet, let's get on that!
