Update on Stellan
Posted on November 21, 2010 at 5:57pm 9 Comments 0 Favorites
Thanks to all for their positive energy for Stellan. I have good news to share today. The brain swelling has subsided and there is rapid eye movement. The doctors are a bit more positive of his recovery. All your energy helped with this and even though Stellan is still critical, he is on the up and up and this can only be a good thing.
Stellan's father, who has a heart condition, ended up in hospital himself again, his heart was literally breaking over this, but he is also slowly on the…

Hi All,
I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but one of our fellow artists on here has been involved in a very bad car accident and as a result as had severe head trauma as well as other injuries. Stellan Kidman is a man that everyone should know and call friend. A talented artist, poet and when he smiles, he lights up the world. The doctors are not giving much hope if the swelling on his brain doesn't subside. I'm asking all my friends on LMM to send all the positive energy and…

Mention a motorcycle and ballerina in a poem
Yesterday I met a man in a bar
The bar was neither near nor far
He whispered to me that his name was Mike
The funny thing is, Mike rode a bike
Not a bike as such that you peddle and push
But the one you feel thunder, under your toosh
The bike that Mike had was a Harley to boot
I wished I had one, but I spend all my loot
For a ride we went in excitement filled air
I could hardly wait to… Continue

Not prompted from the list - but I wrote this last night after recalling a 3rd date with an idiot that was sneakily disguised as a potential.
I wish I could be
A Ghost Gum tree
Rooted to the ground
Stretch without a sound
With leaves that rustle
And underneath there's bustle
A couple fawning a frolic
The result of an alcoholic
Displaying public affection
To those with no objection
Then watch them walk away
And embracing come what… Continue

This is from Challenge No. 13
Start a poem with 'This is not a poem, but...
This is not a poem but,
there is something I must say
I haven't been that honest with you
Just sit and listen, Okay?
I'm sorry I can't love you
You're smitten that is true
But we are not that equal
I am red and you are blue
There is no burst of feeling
When you enter in the room
Your conversation bores me
You're full of doom and gloom

- Yes, I know that you are absolutely correct, Suze. Thank you. I must make more time for relaxing. I've begun falling into the old rut that wore me down to a stub.

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
