Well I'm gonna be gone for a whole week... I know that y'all will have a hard time without me (quote gary) "Nooooooch!" LOL

We are off on a week long camping trip tonight. We have a camper though at the lake/campground that our in-laws paid for so we won't be roughing it too much. But it will be a whole 5/6 days without a computer....my hands are all ready starting to shake. lol I wrote down all the sketchbook excercises that I'll need to do in that time and i'm taking my art supplies much to my husbands dislike but :P on him. So that will be my focus art wise on this vaca to work in my sketchbook as much as possible. I hope to have lots to post when I get back. Perhaps I will even have some new ideas for paintings ya never know. (Although the ideas part isn't really my problem as much as the actuall doing and finishing.) I should have lots of free time on my hands with no computer to distract me. LOLOLOL Except for the two kids and the hubby anyway! See you all when I get back! Or rather write to y'all when I get back i guess?! :)

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).
