Final Prints!!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo.  Finally got the printing done.  After using up 3 out of 4 of my handmade paper sheets and it going wrong I wasnt very hopeful about the final one working BUT IT DID!!!! And I am very happy.  Pity the paint colour wasnt what I would have liked and the handmade paper was one of the sheets that I wasnt too keen on but still I have my print and it worked.

I tried to make the background look a bit more textured by scattering talc.  

I even tried printing on to a tshirt material just for the hell of it.

Screen Printing!!!!

 

Process of screen printing that we did today.  After painting our screens in light sensitive emulsion and letting them dry in a dark room, we took our acetates and put them onto the big light exposure box thing.  The screen is placed on top and the box machine is sealed.  The air is sucked out creating a vacuum and the machine is left to do its job.  When the screen is removed it needs to be washed off with water to remove some of the emulsion and reveal the art work.  Then its time to print!  Woo...
