"I can't imagine being fortunate enough to live close to the ocean. I agree with Bronwyn, it is so evocative of the sounds, smells, peace of the ocean!"

Jen said… - Thanks for replying Rosalind. My work varies. Mostly it has a printmaker/painting slant to it. Encaustic, Collagraphs, Silkscreen, Encaustic monotypes, Woodcuts and placing them onto and into other media and the list goes on. As you can ascertain I am very experimental. Your work is quiet and contemplative. Just what I need at times. Keep it up. Jen

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).
