Discovering acrylic ink !
So, I had to buy this stuff for my course, but had never used it. I didn't expect much, as I used to hate working with ink in highshool and such. But this stuff is GREAT! I loved it, so much fluidity and movement!
The only drawback is that, my paper was way to thin, and the ink kind of warped it. Would any of you know a magic tric I could pull to make it somewhat presentable anyways?

I've never used alcohol ink, this is acrylic ink... I don't actually know what the difference between the two is, ha ha!

Thanks Sarah! It's really simple actually. I filled my brush with ink, white ink on this one. And I pressed it, aming downwards, on whatever spot I wanted to start a drip from. I had to do this multiple times at the same place for the ink to get to the bottom, added some colors in places, played around with it... And then outlined the drips in black. I was told today that acrylic paint mixed with some king of medium would get the same results, but haven't tried yet. Let me know if you experiment with ink as well, I'd love to share tips! :-)

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).
