     @TatoGremlin Where was the starting point for you? I've been interested for years but didn't know where to begin!

     @TatoGremlin That's cool! I think I'll just have to dive in haha. Are the upfront material costs expensive? Not asking for specifics of course, just as an idea.

     @MediaActivist just bought some screens and ink, failed miserably at doing it with photo emulsions and tried vinyl stencils instead!

     @MediaActivist think i got basic tools (some cheap frames, a board, ink, squeegee) for under $100, but we already had the cricut machine on hand so i've using that to cut stencils which has been really helped.

     gonna try going back to photo emulsions soon for more intricate designs which is a little more spendy on transparency printing but still not bad
