I'm getting ready to experiment with thickening dyes so that they can be used like silk screen paint or paint for block printing. I've gathered all the chemistry and most of the equipment. Where I'm getting hung up, though, is in coming up with a design to print. This type of envisioning is just not my forte. So the day is gone and nothing is printed.

However, on the positive side, getting prepared for when inspiration does grace me with its presence makes today not quite the waste that I was worried it would be.

When I tried to draw tonight, I looked through some old horticulture books for samples. I ended up drawing something that is of no use whatsoever for printing, but it is so nice to have something to show for the day that I will accept this as a gift.

Of course, I had help. If help you call it.
