Ipad styli suggestions
Mo Mapes and I have been discussion which ipad styli we like the best. I like Ayl and Acase, but i've been EYEYING the nomad brushes, epsecially the ($39 - gulp!) Nomad Compose (www.nomadbrush.com)
i ordered an aponyo stylus (www.aponyo.com) but had to send it back because it is supposed to work like a retractable ball point pen, but the tip wouldn't go out of the casing all the way. very frustrating and cheap. The tip is covered with fabric, and it might be a little smoother to use than the usual plastic/rubber tipped styli, but I dunno. AND it was $18.00. The ones i use usually cost around $8 or so on amazon.
What does everyone else use?

thanks a lot for posting the link to Nomad Compose! I'm stunned by their demo videos as i had no idea how you can paint on an ipad! Amazing!!!! I'm not a technival minded person but honestly i'm thrown by it,even watercolourpainting can be done on it and it looks real!The only question is how to print it afterwards if you need to,otherwise a great tool to prepare your art in beforehand!!!!

Di- my Aponyo stylus has been working great. I guess you got a lemon. I just started working with my husband new iPad 2 with the stylus and having lots of fun. I got the watercolor app and that is a bit hard to get used to! I would love to try the Nomad- I think the watercolor app would be easier to use with that since it's more like a brush. I want to get the 'brushes" app like Ingrid did. That looks cool!

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
