Silkscreen printing

Even my eyelashes hurt, but oh gods, am I happy. I've been in the screen printing course I told you about at Hola Por Qué since Monday, and I don't know what state of exhaustion I'll be in by the weekend. I thought it was because of the pregnancy that I get tired more than usual, but yesterday I asked my classmates and we're all equally exhausted... but happy.

We're learning to print on paper, fabric, t-shirts... and I assure you it's addicting. Once you start and see the first results, plus the infinite possibilities it offers, you don't want to do anything else but print and print the whole world.

Yesterday, as an experiment, I made the Consort the t-shirt of his dreams, a Rocky Balboa one, and it turned out perfect. I couldn't even wait for it to dry, I took it home to him immediately, and today he's already proudly wearing it.

As I said, it's very rewarding work, but it involves a significant amount of mental and physical fatigue. Between exercising creativity and preparing all the equipment, there isn't a second during the course when you're still. But as I say, it's worth it.

A thousand hugs,

The Screen-printing Countess
