"Thanks for that.  I did wonder how you got the black so smooth.  I think I'm going to have to go on a white egg hunt now.  I wish white eggs were more readily available in this country.  It's funny when I go back home…"

"The white specks (more than can be seen in the photo) were saved with wax resist.  Then traditional pysanka dyes were painted on and allowed to mingle.  Then I used wax to save the passages I liked most.  And finally the whole egg was…"

"The only one I have photographed is this "galactic egg".  It seemed to be a good metaphor if a bit cliché. "

"I'd love to see your eggs.  I do like traditional crafts.  I have always wanted to give it a go myself but it is a bit daunting.  I have a few other kinds of eggs on the go at the moment funily enough.  One I covered in…"

It's been quite a while.

Hi everyone,

I haven't been around for quite a while.  It's been a busy year and I didn't have much time for my online art communities.  But I have been investing time in my art practice.  I joined an artist run centre as a resident artist.  I have my own little studio space with bright natural…

Thanks Danielle.  I'm going to have to get back to using those shells soon.  A client has asked for a larger composition to be created in that series.  One of those was a difficult composition to resolve and didn't completely get resolved.  So that took the wind out of my sails on that particular series for a while. Cheers.

Rick,

I can't answer your private message right now- Ning is all F***ed up right now! Give it a few hours then restart your computer and see what happens. If you still can't find your work let me know and I can get a hold of Gary and see what is going on. I'm heading for bed right now- it's almost 1am- so I will look again in the morning to see if I can get to your message. If it isn't there try uploading again- I know it wasn't Gary that got rid of it or any of the other admins here. Talk to you tomorrow, Mo

Thanks for the friend request Rick. I used to have over 500 until Ning deleted me. And I had my art here too but they deleted me twice after I was here 4 years so I'm not even going to add my art- takes to much time to put it back up. I love looking at your art- keep it up!

Hey Rick, she's the one who invited me here. Very active community; it is a nice site. Did you mess up your poured piece? I love the one with the circles.

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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zAPZn5TEyM&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg&index=41

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).
