Wow: a lot has happened in the past month. After finding out I was accepted to a special opportunity (more on that in a later post), I spent almost all of May preparing for a big move to Chicago. I have now been here for almost a week and can finally consider myself settled in […]

This post may be totally off-topic, but I just needed to put it out there because perhaps others struggle with the same issue. So I’ve been having a bit of a quarter-life crisis (to quote John Mayer) on and off for the past year. And in helping my sister make some decisions about whether she […]

Just a quick post since I was poking around on the internet before grabbing my lunch. It looks like getting a Thermofax machine is the best way to keep gocco-ing now that the supplies are cut off? I’ll have to check into this. In any case, Craft Chi has a great tutorial on how to […]

So as promised, I’m posting how the Ben Folds shirts turned out. First, a little background. Back when I was in college, I was able to see Ben live for the first time when he performed on our campus. He had these awesome tour shirts at the time with his face and “Rock This Bitch” […]

Alas! I think my first attempt at burning a screen is now officially a flop. When I left off my tale, I had attempted to burn my first screen: a PG-702 fabric screen flashed in 2 sections. The first section appeared to work best, but on closer inspection (Thanks, Violet!) I noticed that the carbon […]

Well, this is a day late, and I know that I’m behind on posting: the past couple of nights have been rather late ones. I’m going to try to get another post in tonight to update everyone on my Gocco attempt. But first, since I’ve been so behind on everything lately, this week’s weekly reader […]
