Thanks a lot to you,yes,i also do wonder where i'm heading for but it's very exciting to discover the inside of my head every day and express it directly onto paper.Honestly i didn't know i had it in me to paint so freely .It took me months to realize i could start again without fear of being stuck the next painting ahead of me.Now it's a real pleasure to sit down and spread out some paint and see what happens,knowing something strange will emerge...No planing,no concept,no copying,no pressure to succeed,no judging,no good or bad,just paint and enjoy the process of it.
I do recommend this journey to every artist once in a lifetime!

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).
