My website- let me know what you think.
I've been checking out so many websites and trying to pay attention to Gary's hints and tips along with everyone else's. I think I've got it going pretty good to start with, although I do have some planned changes and adds. Would love to hear your thoughts and critiques. Thanks everyone in advance.

I agree that the simplicity and clean look is appealing. One suggestion would be to give the sizes along with the details of the materials used. I didn't see that anywhere so they could be anything from 2 x 3 inches to 2 x 3 feet and the viewer would never know. I personally also like to see prices on works that are for sale, but I know that artists differ in their views on this--although I see you are planning an Etsy site so that would doubtless be the "price information" site.

Thank you so much Judy. I must admit that with much of my earlier work I was lazy with listing some details such as sizes. It will be corrected but I got really busy about the time I finally published. As for pricing... this has been something I've been struggling with, not sure how much to charge or if I should list prices on site or just showcase. Once again thanks.

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).
