muyfifi replied to Greef's discussion 'The Nun of Sacred Hearts' Assemblage in the group Altered Objects"Thank you for the progressional pics, very much enjoy it. The amazing thing, as you go along I find myself holding my breath with each new pic! I can't explain the response--it's one of "Oh I love that" and somehow…"

"I really enjoy both the colors and textures as well as the simplicity of form. Often times I really struggle with making too much, too many things--this is a lovely balance of both texture, form, and color. Plus I like shiny stuff!"
muyfifi replied to Trudy Clark's discussion Would it offend?"While I think everyone will have different things they are drawn to, I like collecting bird wings, small animal skulls, shedded snake skins. Many parents do these things with our children as a way of exploring and sharing the natural world, so…"

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).
