Thanks Marsha. I don't have any how to pics unfortunately but in a nut shell you make up some cement then find a nice leaf, something with deep veins. You cover the back of the leaf with the cement, thicker over the spine and thinner towards the edges. You wait a few days until it's hard then peel the leaf off the cement. Thats it! lol Would love to see your experiments if you try it. Maybe i should post a pic of my leaves on the site here...hmmm... lol

Thanks Maria. I've always doodled but i guess zentangles are a bit more like 'arty doodles.' lol They are very meditative. Thanks for the lovely compliment!

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).
