One day I walked into the little printing area of the Glove Factory, just outside my studio door, and saw grad painter Suzanne C. Thomas and a big mess. She had a whole bunch of braids made from hair extensions,and was rolling them both sides with black ink, sandwiching them between 2 pieces of print paper, and sending it all through one of the presses. Each such pass resulted in about 2 dozen images of braids. This was all part of an effort to create 1000 printed braids, something the print professor had challenged her to do. She was successful, though I can't remember if the results ever turned up in a finished art piece or exhibition.
