Oh my gosh Bronwyn, you are correct. There is quite the resemblance. Thanks for educating me to Wallas & Grommet.

Shaun the Sheep is a cartoon done by the same people who made Wallas and Grommet. Here's a YouTube video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kDmi5W21-U&feature=player_detai...

Thank you Bronwyn, glad you liked the figure. I have to admit. I am not familiar with that book or the character. It sounds like a childrens literature book; I was formerly an elementary & middle school teacher. My wife still teaches, I'll have to ask if she is familiar. Have a great week!

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).
