How can I feel more success in what I do? Any tips?
At the moment I cannot stop working and do literally anything I enjoy because I feel like I have to keep on trying not to fail.
Every time I achieve something I feel nothing.

Finished editioning my print! The white layer was much better after I remade the screen.
I will take a proper photo tomorrow.

Remade the white screen and it looks a lot better.
I will be editioning this over the weekend (but I also need to make sausage rolls).

Here's the first colour proof of my new print "Weathering the Storm".
It looks pretty good but I might make the last screen again to see if I can get the lines a bit thicker.
Colours are good.

Making screens again this evening. They are all done so I will be printing tomorrow!
Had a disastrous evening yesterday with new emulsion. None of the screens were any good and I broke the glass. Wonderful.

I have just done a test exposure with the new emulsion and got a 4 minute exposure time with the LED UV lamp. I'm pretty pleased with that!
This emulsion should be much more hard wearing than the previous one.

I have logged out of my printmaking account on Instagram for the last time.
I'm tired of the torrent of shit which was doing my head in and also not reaching anyone.
I will keep administering the Winchester Print Fair account though.

I have blocked/muted loads of accounts and been blocked by probably thousands because someone maliciously added me to loads of lists.

Working on something new...a new Safe Harbours print.
This is a work in progress but I'm happy with how it's going.
