Sheila and Chloe's adventures



Once upon a time, there were two brave women on a journey
to produce a print. 

It was fate that brought two souls with a single aim, and that is to find a solution
to print their artist gift for the JPHK trip.



 Due to a faulty exposure machine. Their sophisticated printmaking technique requires that machine. Otherwise, there will be no print.


They searched and travelled far and wide. And contacted their T.O., which gained them access to the fashion dept exposure machine, but was also faulty. Is this an act of God? Can these two brave women go against the odds? We shall see as they push onward...


They arrived at Lam Tong, a printmaking company tucked away in a secluded area of industry. According to the workers, their image quality is too low, prints are supposed to be circular dots, however, theirs was distorted upon closer inspection. Because of the lousy printer at the printer shop, the quality of the print will slowly degrade as more prints are added on. 


Thus it was not an option, though it can be considered, until another problem arose. Cost.
Its costly to prepare the screens at Lam Tong. It is calculated to rack up 180 dollars for the screens and printing alone. not considering the cost of materials.

 Thus, it concludes that the journey of two women though they failed to achieve their goals,
 was however, a great one, that reaps much experience and knowledge in printmaking.
I wouldn't say its a loss at all.

Moral of the story?
Give it your best shot, even if it fails you WILL learn something.
See you next time.
