I have two small paintings I am working on. Both started out with the bubble technique. Then I slapped on some paint. The first one, I would like to call "Life on Mars". I am tempted to leave it…Continue

I wanted to share my experience of an exhibition I opened over the weekend with 4 other artists. We are 5 artists that rent a studio together and on a whim late last summer one of my fellow artists asked a roadside restaurant whether we could have an exhibition there. Well they said yes, and as the time approached we all worked hard on our paintings. At the end of last week all our paintings were ready, but as many probably know, there's a million other things that need to get done -…

I haven't been on site lately as my husband has been ill and we have been travelling back and forth to the doctor and specialist but I hope to be back soon and look forward to getting to know you. Your artworks are lovely and I see you are from Iceland - such a beautiful and dramatic landscape there!

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).
