How many more hours to go?????
In Malcolm Gladwell's book 'Outliers' he examines what it takes to become successful (at anything). Apparently, ANYONE...regardless of so called 'natural talent' REQUIRES at least 10,000 hrs of practice before mastery can be achieved!!!
I've got some work to do!

If this is true, there is no hope for me.
I am going to have to be content with enjoying the process and being in the moment!

10,000 hours... phew... let me see... 40 hours a week for 5 years, 20 hours aweek for 10 years, 5 hours a week for 40 years... I may never make it!!!!
Of course we could be like Gary and go at it 24-7 and knock it over in about a year!

Actually Gary...it's closer to five or six yrs based on an average of 7 or 8 SOLID hrs a day! How many of us actually do that?
I've been a teacher for over 20yrs, but did I actually teach for all that time...of course not.
Think about it ;-))

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).
