I need to find a way past the dissatisfaction stage and start to be happy with what I make, since I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement. Too bad my Muse thinks otherwise O_o Why are you punishing me Muse!?

I think maybe it is because the non-positive remarks are so specific, and the positive ones are NOT. If someone doesn't like something they usually say why "Oh, I don't like bright color" "The work feels cartoonish." But the positive remarks are non-specific. "Hey that's awesome!" or "I really like that" I am… Continue

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).

The Lottery drawing will be on the 1st of August, so, I'll tell the winner to contact you with her/his mailing info.
Thanks so much for making a prize for the lottery! Once you have it finished, go ahead and post it in the group, either as a new Discussion, or as a reply to the July Challenges Discussion.
You are such a gem (^_^)
I was wondering, are you still interested in making something as a prize for this month's Art Lottery in the Faeries/Mystic Art group ?
