Silk Screening... Again!

Soo.... After my silk screen dried, it didn't turn out so well. I decided to try it again but let the emulsion dry for 24 hours before exposing the screen. Sadly, my second attempt turned out even worse than my first. I proofed the screen and it may work. I was able to get one of the school screens clean, and my try it one last time on that screen to see if it yields any better results. Hopefully my problem was just the nylon I used in making my own screens. Wish me luck!!

Silk Screen

I exposed my silk screen, as pictured. It's drying now. Don't know how well it worked because emulsion wasn't completely dry when I exposed the screen. I'll upload pictures when I prof it.



Silk screening

So, I've begun preparing a screen to silk screen some prints. Unfortunately, I ran into some problems getting a screen clean, as we are out of the proper emulsion remove. But luckly, I was able to make my own screen out of a back-wards canvas frame and nylon, and I have enough left over material to make more screens if I have the time. Let's hope it works. Still have to decide what medium to print on, thinking t-shirts, I like the idea of mass produced political art. Pictures will come when screen is light safe.

Photo copy transfer prints

I've been messing around with photo copy transfers in creating and adding to prints.
