Tonight I dreamt I was in the town centre with a friend; in a shop we saw an expensive bracelet made of a strip of fake leather with a button and an ugly print, and she asked me if I could #screenPrint something else over it. Of course I could.

And by that, what she actually meant was to make a similar bracelet in snappap (latex paper), with a screen printed design for a fraction of the cost.

And then I woke up. and I may accidentally found a leftover strip of snappap that is just the right width for a bracelet.

Now, I don't *know* how screen printing works on snapapp. but it can be ironed to set it. So I need to try it. And if it works well, can you hear the words #fauxdori with the @Gruppo Linux Como logo?

Step 1: cutting the bracelet and printing it: done

(picture of a long and thin rectangle of light brown latex paper with rounded corners and a square logo printed in black at about a third of the lenght)

Step 2: patiently wait until it's completely dry (probably overnight) before ironing

are we there yet? and yet? and yet? and…

step 3: heat set done. rubbing test done (on another bit of paper :D ), it doesn't rub away easily. And added a button.

The other bit of latex paper will go in the wash next time, to test its resistance.
