New SeedProjX Logo & SprayPrinting

Emblematic of the work I'm trying to do with ScreenPrinting using stencils. The first project was done with the Summer Learning Academy students as they had to each make logos for their houses and spray paint the logos through the cut stencils. Plain old paper, printouts, sheet protectors, xacto knives, black and white spray paint, and ratty t-shirts were used for this project. Worked!


Logo using the following website: https://www.1001fonts.com/stenciled-fonts.html?page=2&items=10 WC Wunderbach Rough BtabyChristophe Féray


Transporters team logo using a font from site and a hand drawn car cut from cardboard. 

Engineers logo using a "reverse approach". Sprayed "STEM" and "ENG" positively from stencil, but then covered the letters with 3D printed sprockets and sprayed a variety of colors to have very unique shirts.

What it looks like to apply spray paint through the stencil. 

Not sure how the shirts will hold up, but I have one with a couple logos on it, and so an update may be in order in a few months.

Plastic Origami Field Use Microtome

Plastic origami (plastic folder source) worked well to make specimen holder. 2 widths possible by either folding down on bottom to furthest stop or by placing bottom together in slit cut. Slide holder is filled with water and specimen is hand advanced with the slightest of nudges over the length of the specimen holder. Cuts are made on the other side of the glass slide, which holds the specimen holder in place and also acts to create a smooth cutting surface for better quality cut (using standard razor blade). The glass slide has a semi-ovular cut from the bottom using a steel wheel glass cutter (see video). This cut allows the specimen to advance beyond the glass so that the specimen can be cut. Cross sectional cuts of stem are picked up with needle nose forceps and placed on a slide. Extra water was absorbed with Kim wipes separating slides. Clear tape is used as cover slip to secure specimen to slide and then specimen are examined using Carson handheld microscope. ...
