- How did you hear about Loving Mixed Media?
- I found Gary on YouTube and had been watching his videos and when he announced the site I had to keep watching. I was not a big watcher of YouTube, but thought that someone must have posted something about acrylic painting techniques. I realized that I needed some help and I found Gary. I saw how many people that Gary has brought together just for the sake of their art and passions on Ning… So, I could no longer sit on the sideline and watch. I have a hard time calling myself an artist, because Gary and so many people on this site inspire me to do more and be more.

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).
