I amend my review.
Speedball fabric ink (black) works.
I wetted the fabric and pressed my plate with my weight (standing on top). This girl's video helped me a lot.
My review of fabric print ink.
Speedball fabric ink (black) : not pigmented enough. I saw somewhere non-black colors are good. I may try direct painting on fabric with this.
Pros- Able to clean with water/soap. No heat setting necessary.
Block printing without a press.

Silkscreen? I was testing a block print.
If I have a chance, will post my experiences with fabric inks.
What is nostr fabrics? You want to make t-shirts?
I bought a fabric print ink based on a blogger that recommended. He had a beautiful pic and convincing testimonies of inks.
But the ink was not good (not pigmented). I may not be using it properly.
but the blogger probably was a paid artist by the brand or just a marketing write. Who has a time to make a beautiful blog and do art productions if you are not paid??? (I wouldn't do it).
Anyway, its hard to tell who is a paid reviewer and who is not.
Now I am gonna buy a few inks and test myself (and no blog post on that).

When I was in Japan, I tried to install WofS. My phone didn't let me. They kew where I live rather than where I was. I may try again with another device.
Got it. What wallet do you use?
Yes. Minibits.
Do you use?
I was thinking about connecting minibiz (?). Since they have mac versions now.
It rains often here too.
I agree with you. It would be a kind of test for me. ha.
Hi!
You def live north of me. Dandelions are mostly over here.
Your garden looks great.

I was recently referred to a liberal institution to teach Japanese. I may not get the job but I can send my resume etc.
Thinking about it- I need a part time job.
But, if I would teach there, I may start self-censoring what I write on my Japanese blog, since other teachers and my bosses can read them.
Of course, I could hide my blog or just post my works. Or keep writing what I want to write.
Anyway, I am just thinking out loud. Nostr is a good place to post these,
I came to nostr not necessarily for btc but for free thoughts and new ideas.
have a good day 😉
This tree analogy- I often think of.
On a windy day, I don't have to fight back, just stand there, blown by the wind.
In this event, I believe, we are supposed to eat without chopping sushi.
Don't worry, we already do that.
Oh, you can tell!
I saw sculpture work images made by AI but posted as 2D images (so, just photos of dolls). If they didn't say these were all AI, I would have thought they made these dolls by hand ha.
I also imagine AI start creating by themselves without being asked by humans- then it is real scifi.
This,
I just cannot separate AI creations from non-AI works anymore. On writing & graphic art. Sea of AI creations all over.

Oh got it. Thanks
I wonder if any one could let me know how Minibits and other cashu e-cashes work?
How do I redeem e-cashes to sats?
How much does it cost to redeem my e-cash?
(where can I find the fee table?)
Can I redeem directly to BTC?
Do I need a separate cashu wallet except minibits?
Or could you provide any video link with which I can find out these?
If you have every observed a dandelion for a day you will notice the flowers open and close in response to light. We have been having some wonderful sunny days of late and today it happens that it is cloudy thus the petals have not opened so much. When the clouds are in the sky the red light of infrared and visible is blocked more than some of the UV side of the spectrum.
So in the video when we have a fresh dandelion under the microscope after being in the direct sun and the epiflourescent light is used on the petal it moves. The epiflourescent light on the scope is on the blue light end of the spectrum and therefore it seems the flower is moving in response to the blue light because it is the action taken at the end of the day aka closing up for the night. As the sun rises we have more red light because the light has to travel through more atmosphere than and at the end of the day where have more blue.
In the video you can see only the petals really move. Once they move they don’t return so much but when the infrared red-light led panel is shone on it it moves back more.
I have also seen trichomes and leaves pump sap, puffballs move their spores with the epi, signalling a similar end of the day type of action. The leaves would likely be pumping metabolites to the roots, puffballs hairs would be possibly preparing spores for dispersal to avoid direct midday sun.
Turns out this process is called Nyctinasty.
Phytochromes proteins seem to be responsible for the red light movement
Phytochrome

and Phototrophins are proteins for the blue light movement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phototropin
there is also a protein for UV B
UVR8

also for blue light:

I am sure there must be more too and it would surprise me if lots of this stuff applies to people in some way too.

I bought this gold pen a while back and forgot about it.
I found it today when I was looking for another pen.
I still cannot find the pen I was looking for but it's okay 😀
I will see how Albrecht Dürer engraved his knot series on the wood block.
Also, will go to the Edo period and see Ukiyoe woodblock print processes

Congrats for your paid lunchbreaks. Good luck.
Yup, this is true. Even painters and sculptors that post their works online.
It is hard to prevent redistribution.
At least, no one can have the one I created originally but they can print out very good quality work if they have a good printer.
