There's something elegant about a Macaw feather.

Michael- your feather pieces are brilliant! I have feathers like that from my niece's birds. hhhmmm  might have to incorporate them into some of my encaustics- that is as soon as I get he hang of it and it warms up here! Keep up the great work....

Thanks Mo. I've had them in my inventory for sometime and I finally worked them in. I was going to float them in the wax but I wanted the feather to be free of wax since it would darken the color.

What a brilliant solution to using the feather. This piece has such a quiet and commanding presence. You are an ongoing inspiration.

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).
