Screen printing

Screen print on paper.

I've been wanting to do some screen printing for a while now. I brought a kit ages ago but have never quite got round to it. I decided as I don't have much spare time at the moment I would cheat slightly and get some screens made.
I used a company called Thermofax. I'm really please with them and they arrived really quickly. I have has 3 screens made and they are based on some black and white flower doodles I did a few weeks ago.

I've only had a quick play , so the prints I am showing you are just tests really. But I have loads of ideas and things I want to try, so hopefully I should be able to show how I have developed these ideas over the next few weeks.

  3. These look magical! I didn't know you could get the screens made up. Was it expensive to have done? Would love to give it another go, last time I was at college. 30 years ago!!! Ouch!
