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).

I'm new to this site (about a week now) and been painting about 3-4 years. These guys here are so full of support and encouragement - I feel right at home showing stuff I thought I'd never show and getting my imagination cooking just by seeing others works. I feel sorta strange being cast as an artist too because I thought my stuff just wasn't good enough. It seemed like a miracle if something turned out right. Now I don't care what I get called since I'm just having fun and I'm learning. I read this little book called "Art and Fear" and it helped get me over some issues we all get while creating. Looking forward to seeing what you create. Have fun!
