Blindside

 

A lil story of one artist inspiring another artist who inspires another...

One day my cat was sitting on the table basking in the sunshine coming through the kitchen door.  I grabbed my camera and captured the moment.

Showing my friend Mary Helena the photo, Mary insited I use the photo to make a stencil painting.  I haven't any experience with layered stencils and although I love them I was a little nervous about making a cat one, fur and all.

Before I could…

This is All New to Me

Hi, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to you.  I am an artist of many things.  I love to watercolor, use acrylic paint, do paper crafts, I work with fiber.  I really love it all but have never done what I consider mixed media.  I have dabbled a little but not much.  I love to look at mixed media work and have decided to explore it.  I have ordered a couple of books and joined this site.

 

I am looking forward to getting to know you all and to jump in and learn…

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

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).
