A New Blog for the Frugal Artist :-)
I've decided to start a blog for those of us on a limited art budget; where to score deals, freebies, notices for sales/coupons, etc. I thought we could all share info as "comments" and help keep the frugality alive !
( bye the way, I just purchased a color printer at a garage sale for two dollars and fifty cents...it works great and came filled with ink ! this was more goodness from the universe as my old printer had died) *score* ! ;-)

One of my pet peeves...
Whenever i attend local art classes or workshops, the instructor generally asks - have you done any workshops earlier, what have you learnt, do have any samples of what you have done in previous workshops and such like. So then I explain about the courses I have taken earlier and take some samples the next day. Almost ALWAYS, the instructor promptly begins to nit… Continue

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).
