I love bank holidays

This morning, I have had a bit of a screen printing session and its been very enjoyable. If only every weekend was a bank holiday, I would get much more done.

I plan to work into most of the prints. So I haven't produced any finished pieces, but I have lots to work with.

I have also printed a couple of bags, I messed up a few of them, so I'm trying to work out a way of saving them. But its all a learning curve.

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.
