ltmurnauToday I am wearing my 11-inch, 12-hole, spit-shiny black leather Corcoran jump boots. They have very hard nailed soles and are so loud I have made two trips to the other wing of the building just so I could tromp across the wooden floor.
I got them for five dollars at the last 50% sale at Value Village. One of my best scores.
Another good recent score at VV was finding a "Print GOCCO" set. This is a very simple silkscreen press that uses flashbulbs to burn images onto prepared emulsion screens. Very common in Japanese households for making nengajo or New Year's postcards. The drawback is that they are expensive to feed, but I am going to try and figure out a way of preparing my own non-emulsion screens.

I've got a pair of silkscreen clamps you can have if you want ... one half clamps to a table and the other half clamps to the screen frame. Otherwise they'll get tossed when we move onto the houseboat.
