Jay commented on Carolyn Tiley's blog post Art from the Heart - Day 2 ..."Second day and already starting deep philosophical conversations, nice.
Before I give my idea on when art becomes craft and v/v, let me say this...it does not matter where that line is.
As an full time artist, to me it does not matter if what I…"

"Well it shows it pays to look up - I think it looks like you're looking down on something actually as if from a plane, which is pretty cool."
Carolyn Tiley commented on Carolyn Tiley's blog post Art from the Heart - Day 2 ..."I used to think the same - that art couldn't be "practical" or a "practical" thing couldn't be art. But maybe practical things are transformed into art when we stop using them for their intended function or look at them…"

Hello ... and thanks for the welcome from you all and comments on the photos. learning stuff already. Still thinking about this artist thing ... when does art become craft and vice versa ?
Frost melted here on Dartmoor, birdies out in force again, but still too icy to get out much.

So now I'm an artist ?

OK I'm rather over-excited about this ... I love art, creativity especially through textiles - but I'm really no expert, but here on this site I can be an artist. I'm looking forward to hearing about everyone's work and experience, I need some confidence and inspiration, but first let's get Christmas out of the way ...

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

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).
