I like it a lot, but i`m not sure that i understood the tecnique describsion. We have`nt got a long Halloween tradition here in my country, and we may not have all the stuff used for the selebration either.

sorry, I should've described the method a little better. After you secure the cob web stuff to the board, you spray it with water and then start adding your colors. Have fun! It can be addictive!

To answer your question: Halloween cob webs are sold at Halloween time. It's a stretchy polyester-like gauze that you stretch to create cob webs. A little bit goes a long way. Have the Yupo on a piece of foam core or some other type of board and tape it down, stretching it so that it lies flat. It creates some amazing effects when you use acrylic inks or Golden's liquids. It can also work on watercolor paper.

Okay, I have to ask... what are halloween cobwebs? Is that something that you buy for decorations? How do you apply it to your art?

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).
