test prints!

more color swatches. did 2 of each color on denim (one thin and one thick) to compare how color gets absorbed by material, but the inks I currently have aren’t necessarily fit for fabric so I’ll need to do some more test swatches when I buy more ink

I finally set up my studio!

Dec. 3

Sorry for no recent updates! Have been working on IP Review, going to do some test screen prints tomorrow for fun and to add to slides for work samples.

Feedback from Jared Cole:

Offered a lot of insight on how to engage with audience without reverting to a virtual format. For example, what about mailing zines out, creating a sort of “subscription service” for upcycling (ex: I sent audience materials to upcycle on their own, kind of a like a DIY package). Really like the idea of mailing zines, still thinking on the DIY box idea. I think it’s important to engage in some way that isn’t virtual

I like the look of the “zero waste”
