thanks for all the great remarks. Loves old rusty stuff, and bright shinny gaudy stuff! My mom used to call us a couple of old crows, just give us something that sparkles and we are happy.

I absolutely love this! (I'm nuts for moths.) The composition is perfect... I love the row of white pearls at the bottom, and all the little things that are going on at the center. So beautiful

actually the round metal is the thing that goes in the flu when you take a stove pipe out.

I love the rust. It gives the art such feeling.

The rust on this artwork really unifies it.

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).
