Paint your fridge magnets
Posted on July 31, 2011 at 10:30pm 10 Comments 1 Favorite
Every time i find commercial fridge magnets when i go to delivery restaurants and taverns i grab one or two:) They are cool small canvasses to my eyes.
Last night i painted some of them and it was fun. In fact i thought i could order a sheet of magnet and cut it in the dimensions i want but then i saw the price of it and i made up my mind! Its aprox 16 euros for 1 meter -i dont know if its a good…

I came across this tv show videos yesterday and watched almost all of them.
They are presenting some cool and interesting techniques mainly for scrapbooking but i thought some elements are great for painting or assemblage or making your work a bit interactive or 3D.
Here is the link of their site…

Recently i found in the school's trash an old book with these great yellow-sepia pages and i thought i could use it for collage pieces or as a background for paintings.
Two of the book's pages had some portraits of the writers -printed old fashion photos or a simple drawing of someone. Too bad i didnt take a photo of them before i paint them over…

- Happy belated Birthday, Mary. Just wanted to tell you I am in total awe of your work. I know I must have commented on one of your pieces at some time or another, but when I looked earlier at your profile I didn't remember seeing it, as it completely blew me away. Your work is amazing!

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).
