FALL CROP 2011: SILK SCREENING CLASS

by **helpmeronda** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 7:23 pm

And last but not least I throw in a video about a technique that I have shown long time ago - so for those of you who want to get even a bit more adventurous - you can do this too

SCREEN PRINTING

Materials and tools you’ll need:
• A surface to work on--cardboard or canvas
• Paint brush
• An embroidery hoop (You can get this at most craft supply stores, but you might also
get a cheap one at one of the kid’s toy stores.)
• Acrylic paint
• A gel medium or fluid mask gel
• Sheer curtain material, such as a tulle or old silk pieces,
• An image, either a print-out or hand drawn

Definitely love this one - I'll have to read it over a little bit more (or maybe a lot) before I give it a try!
