kitchen craft

I used this shrink plastic (bought on Ebay) and followed the instructions

to make little gauge type buttons for robots.

They say small things amuse small minds.

more experiments in screen printing

After the success of the pillowcases (and no I won't be making any available for sale guys but thanks for the offer Mrs B. )I got to thinking about multicoloured prints. Of course each colour needs its own stencil so the time factor is a biggy. I knew from the outset that the danger of stuffing up was high so decided to work on paper instead of fabric.

Grey blob Blue blobs

red blobs
black blobs

and yes I made about 6 so the photos might not match up exactly - the grey blob disappeared and the photos suck. BUT I learnt that the registration thing is not too bad and if you wanted the "offset" look then its even easier. The paper is a bit less forgiving than the fabric (I was using a fabric screen) so I was happy with the amount of squidges and blurrs. All of this so far has been using a stencil method of screen printing, I just need a bit of time so I can have a go at the screen filler type method. I am truly fascinated by this idea, its is so easy and yet can be so detailed and complicated...my head is awhirl I tell you !

And if it is OK with everyone I think it might be my turn to win the lottery tonight - I mean I seriously need to give up the day job and play with screens and ink and fabric.... hmm...wonder if there is a government grant for noodling and fardarkling ?

I can't help but wonder

What exactly is the collective noun for a group of robots?

Bus stop - weekend

Small-Bot thought about the girl at the bus stop all weekend.

He thought about her when he was cleaning.

He thought about her when he was cooking.

He even thought about her when he and Cat-Bot were relaxing.

Bus Stop - Friday

On Friday it looked like rain.

The girl at the bus stop let Small-bot and Cat-bot share her umbrella.

Small-Bot thought she was very nice.

Bus stop

On Monday, Small-Bot and Cat-Bot were running late for work.

Stayin' Alive

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

I'm a woman's man.

No time to talk.

Music loud and women warm,

I've been kicked around since I was born.

and now it's all right, it's OK.

and you may look the other way

We can try to understand
The New York Time's effect on man


Whether you're a brother
or whether you're a mother



You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin'
and ev'rybody shakin'



and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
AH

AH

Stayin' alive ........
