This artists process seems overly complicated, not sure why she feels the need to make it so difficult

yeah i thought so too but thought it interesting to see how some people need to make the process seem overly difficult and maybe a little bit elitist.

maybe she is just unable to get hold of a pancake griddle so she can be sure the temp is not too high. But OUCH I can see so much potential for nasty burns with this process!!

The first time I saw this I wanted to pull my hair out- I was yelling at the screen to hurry up! UHG! And the results didn't look very good either. I guess she doesn't like to wait for the damar to melt??!! I couldn't watch it again- it was too painful the first time a few months ago. But you are right, Mo, it is interesting to see how others work. Besides, wouldn't you have a chance of mixing water with your wax this way?

Here's part one of a very simple video about making medium. This guy is a wood worker- didn't know he was into encaustics. He has a cool way of melting and filtering his impurities.

I guess he and his wife also have a gallery they run. I will keep my eyes out for another video by him.

When I saw the Tremain clip for the first time I wanted to shop at the Thrift store to see what kind of old material I could find. That was some time ago and I still haven't done it.

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).
