Hey everybody,
I'm Marla, and I am looking forward to getting to see some new and inspiring art from everybody here. I'm from Indiana, just across the Ohio River from Louisville, Ky. I have 2 boys that are grown and will become a grandma in Feb.
My husband and I love antiques and do a lot of shopping in Peddler's Malls and antique shops and I pick up lots of ephemera from here to add to my artwork. I love the hunt!

How are you all going with your encaustic journey.Let em know what is going on with your work. I am happy to answer any questions on waxing or to debate anything with you.
If you have found any encaustic artists that you would like to share with us all that would also be fab.
I am really keen to see members work and really get this group going a bit more. Tell me what you want to see in here. Or any new ideas that would be good for our group, which is now topping 127 members.
Hoo Roo(aussie goodbye)

- Hi Marla, I love the artwork used in your profile pic, would be great to see a larger pic of it. Do you think you can add it to your photos for us? Thanks so much.

- marla will get back to you on that. I am not the most technical person. I am thinking that maybe you do need something on your computer first in order to see that but not sure, will ask around and let you know.

- there seems to be a box that comes up if you hover over the bottom area of the video. That is where there is a start/stop option with an arrow or pause button.

- Hi marla

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIc02QBihJQ&feature=share&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg

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).
