The Coming
It is said that on the 21st day of the 12th month of the year 2012, the World as we know it shall end and a new Epoch shall begin.
This is a mixed media handbound journal. The cover of this handmade journal is fully hand-sculpted. The elements on the cover include an Egyptian hieroglyphic print in the background, half covered by a rock-like surface made of epoxy clay. The ‘timepiece’ is an assemblage of clock cogs and parts, rusted hardware, metal sheets, paint and ink, with a crudely rotatable fork-like needle.
The covers are then painted, aged and protected by several coats of Satin Varnish.

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).
