Did my first ever bit of screenprinting a couple of weeks ago. Long overdue and a whole lot of fun!
There's a tiny Tumblr post showing some of the process steps here:
Also a small number of the prints still available over on Etsy. (now shipping internationally) etsy.me/1AX0ybn
One of my son's fellow art students , Sulam, designed and printed this doll. I sewed it up. They all had a design and print project for their final and they each made enough to trade with each other.
I finished my first class at screenprinting on Tuesday and used an old sketch as a first try. The last night was a bit manic as we had to finish all our prints in one go and we still had 2 to 3 screens to do. Screenprinting and quickness don’t go well at all, its got to be slow and precise.
They’re not as registered as I’d like them to be, but that’s okay as its more an experiment.
My first proper screenprint - it's an edition of 50 - more pics & info here - dukelixon.co.uk/#2007732/-BadBearDay-Limited-Edition-Scre...
A reworking of the previous sold out Octophant.
These things have a tendency to sell fast, so if you want one get one because I don't expect to be printing this design again.

isn't it great, how the colours multiply?! So much more to learn!!!
Oh and btw this is how it would look in a perfect world, but of course when it gets printed, it looks different... ;-)
i'm taking a silk screening class at the san francisco art institute this summer for the whole summer. it's super fun. it brings back fond memories from all my printmaking classes as an undergrad, many a year ago.
i want to make fabrics with my screens. this might be fabric eventually, but for now is just a test print on some crappy newsprint. of course, it's in my favorite hue du jour, red-orange. would you expect any less from the likes of moi?
The screen was made directly from a Hogweed flower. It's just an experiment, but I think it turned out OK!
