Getting Closer, But Still Lost

I haven't printed in almost two years. I feel ashamed to say that, since I worked so hard to get my degree and spent so many hours in the shop working and laughing with those around me. When you lose you resources it really hurts you, not just physically. I haven't forgotten anything, the same is with what I learned while studying kinesiology, but not using it is going to only cause atrophy on my skills and craftsmanship. Once again I find myself doing research on supplies, presses, and even studios in town where I can pay a fee and rent the facility for a few hours to pull some intaglios or reliefs. But that's all it is, and has been for the past six months, research.

I really would like to get back to doing intaglios, but the cost of that is way more than I can currently invest into a press and supplies, plus I have no room to setup a hazardous free shop. Nitric Acid in a room with little to no air flow or accessable wash station is not a good mix. I can afford to start screen printing, well a very small layout. I'm still debating on getting CS4 or another Creative Suite. So far in supplies it will be under $400, but $200 of that is ink alone. One gallon of screen printing ink is $50, and I'm just getting RBYWh because I'll be doing a lot of mixing. I hope I am really sure about this. I will be making this big step this weekend, unless something else comes up and my money is used elsewhere.

I'm still trying to figure out what's next. Our lease is up in June, though we are wanting out sooner, I think it's just smarter to stay til then. Jason isn't sure he can stay that long. His hours have been cut back, and niether one of us have found a better job, let alone a second one. I'm still trying to just leave things up to God, but trying to do my part as well. I'm still trying to figure out my final destination for that time. No jobs in all the places I am looking really doesn't help the process, plus being in another state doesn't look too appealing to employers.

Home seems like a good plan...but I don't want to be a mooch.

I don't know how to even start this entry. I'm not myself at this present moment of my life. Decisions are needed once again, but only have answers have been given, or I'm just not seeing it completely...

I really just need to buckle down, and print... Oh Bill, how I miss thee!
